Silver and Gold Can Not Save Thee

Verse 1

Tell me, pray tell me, what profit 'twill be, O my dear friend, O my dear friend, If the whole world should be given to thee, And thou be lost in the end.

Chorus

Silver and gold cannot save thee, Th' all the world fortune gave thee, Riches untold cannot save thee, Nothing but Jesus can save.

Verse 2

Silver and gold cannot wash thy soul white, O my dear friend, O my dear friend, God in the sinner can never delight; What wilt thou do in the end?

Verse 3

Moments of pleasure will soon pass away, O my dear friend, O my dear friend, Soon, O so soon comes the great reck'ning day; What wilt thou do in the end?

Verse 4

Hell and destruction before thee doth lie, O my dear friend, O my dear friend, Where wilt thou go when God calls thee to die? What wilt thou do in the end?

Verse 5

Angels are beck'ning, God's trumpet doth call, O my dear friend, O my dear friend, Make peace with God ere in death thou dost fall, Then 'twill be well in the end.
