This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption;

    No 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.

 

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 I only can own.

 

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.

 

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 to God's kingdom could not thus be bought.

    The blood of the cross is my only foundation;

    The death of my Savior redemption hath wrought.

 

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.
