Lyrics
1. Nor silver nor gold
hath obtained my redemption,
Nor riches of earth
could have saved my poor soul;
The blood of the cross
is my only foundation,
The death of my Savior
now maketh me whole.
Refrain.
I am redeemed, but not with silver,
I am bought, but not with gold;
Bought with a price,
the blood of Jesus,
Precious price of love untold.
2. Nor silver nor gold
hath obtained my redemption,
The guilt on my conscience
too heavy had grown;
The blood of the cross
is my only foundation,
The death of my Savior
could only atone.
Refrain.
I am redeemed, but not with silver,
I am bought, but not with gold;
Bought with a price,
the blood of Jesus,
Precious price of love untold.
3. Nor silver nor gold
hath obtained my redemption,
The holy commandment
forbade me draw near;
The blood of the cross
is my only foundation,
The death of my Savior
removeth my fear.
Refrain.
I am redeemed, but not with silver,
I am bought, but not with gold;
Bought with a price,
the blood of Jesus,
Precious price of love untold.
4. Nor silver nor gold
hath obtained my redemption,
The way into heaven
could not thus be bought;
The blood of the cross
is my only foundation,
The death of my Savior
redemption hath wrought.
Refrain.
I am redeemed, but not with silver,
I am bought, but not with gold;
Bought with a price,
the blood of Jesus,
Precious price of love untold.
