Hymn 255
I am not bought with riches
Meter: 7.6.7.6.D. & Ref.
Scripture: 2 Kings 5:26
I am not bought with riches,
Neither silver nor gold;
But Christ hath redeemed me,
I am safe in His fold.
In the book of His kingdom,
With its pages so fair,
Through Jesus my Saviour
My name's written there.
My name’s written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the book of God’s kingdom,
My name’s written there.
My sins, they were many,
Like the sands of the sea;
But the blood of my Saviour
Is sufficient for me.
For His Promise is written
In bright letters that glow,
"Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,
I will make them like snow."
Oh that beautiful city
With its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings
In pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh
To despoil what is fair,
Where the angels are watching,
My name’s written there.
