Nor Silver nor Gold

lyricist: James Gray, 1900
Composer: Daniel Towner

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.
