1 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption;
No riches of earth could have saved my poor soul.
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.
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.
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.
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.
