GOLD is not what man can do,
Gold sets forth what God has done:
Gold is righteousness divine;
Gold — the Person of God’s Son.
SILVER is the work of Christ —
Hark! the silver trumpet sounds!
Silver is redemption blest;
Silver tells how grace abounds.
BRASS is judgment — man’s deserts,
Brass, resistless, utter woe;
Brass the portion sad of those
Who refuse to Christ to bow.
