Riches of Grace

Composer: Edmund Lorenz, 1886

Riches of earth I may not see

God may pre­vent;

Riches of grace are of­fered me

I am con­tent.

Wealth of the world must fade and fail

Earthly de­lights grow taste­less

stale

I have the wealth that must avail—

Riches of grace.

Riches of grace for­ev­er en­dure;

Riches of grace my safe­ty as­sure;

Riches of grace are fade­less and pure;

Riches of grace

rich­es of grace.

I may not win fair hon­or’s crown

God may pre­vent;

Heavenly hon­ors are my own

I am con­tent;

Children of God and heirs of grace

Walking in light be­fore His face

Resting in peace in His em­brace—

Riches of grace.

Earth will not bring me hours of peace

Sin will pre­vent;

I have a peace that can­not cease

God hath it sent.

Sweetly the hours of life glide by

Harmless its tri­als past me fly

Strong in His grace I all de­fy—

Riches of grace.
