Of silver and gold I have not a coin, nor vast wealth or riches to claim My wallet is empty, my pockets likewise, not a penny is willed to my name My treasure lies hid in a vault quite secure, more guarded than any a bank Gold, silver and jewels all abound in my safe, and crowns of great value and rank Fine velvet and linen you'll not see me wearing, I don't own fine satin and silk At dinner we don't serve a fine 3 course meal, just simple bread, meat and milk My heavenly garment is spotless and white, and it's going to be just my size The great wedding feast is in preparation for the day Jesus brings back His prize The home that I live in is humble and plain, no ivory or marble to boast But I've got a mansion I'll live in ere long, right on the crystal sea's coast So I'll not be discouraged whatever betide, though temptation may wait at my door Jesus has given me life, riches and glory, so Heaven is worth waiting for
