Author: Rev. A. H. Ackley Hymnal: Favorites Number 2 #74 (1946) First Line: I own not the riches of silver or gold Refrain First Line: Mine, mine, waiting before me Lyrics: 1 I own not the riches of silver or gold,
Nor the glittering jewels of time;
But I am content with the Treasures of Old,
For the wealth of all heaven is mine.
Refrain:
Mine, mine, waiting before me!
Mine, mine, wonderful story!
Mine, mine, His be the glory,
The wealth of all heaven is mine.
2 No pleasures of Egypt shall draw me away
From the joys that are truly divine;
And so in the land of the promise I’ll stay,
For the wealth of all heaven is mine. [Refrain]
3 I know that some day when the summons shall come,
No tomb shall my spirit confine;
A legion of angels will carry me home,
For the wealth of all heaven is mine. [Refrain]
4 His Spirit is guiding my pilgrimage here,
His love-beams from heaven shall shine
Thro’ all of life’s shadows till He shall appear,
For the wealth of all heaven is mine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I own not the riches of silver or gold]
