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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
