Nor Silver Nor Gold

Verse 1

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, Nor riches of earth could have saved my poor soul; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior now maketh me whole.

Chorus

I am redeemed, but not with silver; I am bought, but not with gold; Bought with a price--the blood of Jesus, Precious price of love untold.

Verse 2

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, The guilt on my conscience too heavy had grown; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior could only atone.

Verse 3

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, The holy commandment forbade me draw near; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior removeth my fear.

Verse 4

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, The way into heaven could not thus be bought; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior redemption hath wrought.
