Boast thou not of thy gold­en hoard
To us whose souls are saved;
For in the ci­ty of our Lord
The streets with gold are paved.

Refrain

Lay up thy trea­sure in Hea­ven,
Of all things make this sure;
Lay up thy trea­sure in Hea­ven,
And God will keep it se­cure.

Boast thou not of thy jew­els fair,
For we re­deemed from sin
Through gates of pearl to beau­ties rare
Will soon be ush­ered in.

Refrain

Boast thou not of thy man­sions here,
For we with blood-washed souls
Have man­sions in an­oth­er sphere,
Where time un­end­ing rolls.

Refrain

Boast thou not of thy great re­nown,
For each who bears Christ’s name
Will some day wear a fade­less crown
And have en­dur­ing fame.

Refrain

Freely speak of the Sav­ior’s power,
And of His match­less love,
Resolving thou wilt from this hour
Lay trea­sure up above.
