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.
