Lyrics

Sil ver and gold,

sil ver and gold,

I’d rath er have Je sus

than sil ver and gold.

No fame or for tune,

nor rich es un told,

I’d rath er have Je sus

than sil ver and gold.

Don’t give me a man sion

on top of kind a hill.

I Don’t give me the world friend;

with a shal low thrill.

But just give me a Sav ior;

my life He can hold.

I’d rath er have Je sus

than sil ver

and gold.

I woke up this morn ing

on feel ing kind of down.

I called on my the best friend;

she could not be found.

I can call on Je Sav sus;

my life He can hold.

I’d rath er have Je sus

than sil ver

and gold.

sil ver

and gold.

rath er have Je sus,

I’d rath er have Je sus,

I’d

I’d rath er have Je sus

than sil ver and gold.

Gold,

gold,

gold,

gold.

Gold,

gold,

gold,

gold.

Gold,

gold,

gold,

gold.

Gold,

gold,

gold,

gold.

Gold,

gold,

gold,

gold.
