104. Not All the Gold of All the World | C.M.D. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Not all the gold of all the world, |
| And all its wealth combined, |
| Could give relief, or comfort yield, |
| To one distracted mind; |
| 'Tis only to the precious blood |
| Of Christ the soul can fly, |
| There only can a sinner find |
| A flowing full supply. |
|
| 2 | Gold could not give the heart-relief |
| The malefactor craved, |
| Ah, no! 'twas Christ, the Christ of God, |
| That dying sinner saved; |
| Faith's view of Him who bleeding hung |
| A victim by his side. |
| He saw, he knew the Lord was there, |
| The Lord for him had died. |
|
| 3 | Oh, what can equal joy divine, |
| And what can sweeter be |
| Than knowing that this Christ is mine |
| To all eternity? |
| Safe in the Lord, without a doubt, |
| By virtue of the blood; |
| For nothing can destroy the life |
| That's hid with Christ in God. |
