Eternal things cannot be bought—
They all excel in fame:
Salvation only can be had,
Through faith in Jesus’ Name.
God is too rich to sell it us,
And we too poor to buy;
If life were to be offered thus,
Then surely we must die.
But O, God knew we could not pay,
So He was pleased to lay
Believers’ sins on Christ His Son,
Who bore them all away.
God’s wine and milk are offered free.
Come buy, to all we say;
E’en without money or a price,
For none their worth could pay.
