Jehovah Speaks

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 49

Verse 1

Jehovah speaks; let man be awed, And deep attention give. Ye sinners, hear the way to God! Ye dead, arise and live!

Verse 2

Trust not in earthly wealth and show; Vain, vain, are they to save; Gold cannot buy release from woe Or ransom from the grave.

Verse 3

Worlds cannot reach the mighty price Of one immortal soul; No LORD, Thy blood and sacrifice Alone can make us whole.

Verse 4

In Thee be our salvation sure; No other wealth we seek: We're rich in Thee, however poor, And strong, however weak.
