Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…but with the precious blood of Christ.
1 Peter 1:18–19
Words: Austin Taylor, 1910.
Music: Ira L. Winterrowd (🔊 pdf nwc).
This world has its treasures of silver and gold,
Its pearls and its diamonds, its wealth is untold;
But Jesus, who died upon Calvary’s tree,
Is more than all this world to me (to me).
Refrain
He’s more than all to me;
He’s more than all to me;
He’s more than all this world to me,
He’s more than all to me.
This world with its show of allurements of wrong,
May try to entice me and take me along;
But clinging to Jesus, its folly I see—
He’s more than all this world to me (to me).
Refrain
He comforts and cheers me in trials of life;
His arm is around me when evil is rife;
A friend and a loving companion is He—
He’s more than all this world to me (to me).
