Better Far than Gold

1 My sins were once so heavy they bore me to the ground,
My heart was fill’d with sadness, no comfort could be found;
But when I came to Jesus, ‘twas joy and peace untold,
To know my sins forgiven, is better far than gold.

Refrain:
Better far than gold,
Better far than gold,
To know my sins forgiven,
Is better far than gold.

2 His voice spoke peace and pardon, unto my sin-sick soul,
The load of care and trouble, from off my spirit roll’d;
O praise His name forever, for love that doth enfold,
To know my sins forgiven, is better far than gold. [Refrain]

3 I’m singing and rejoicing, as on my way I go,
I mean to live for Jesus, that others, too, may know,
The blessed story, that never shall grow old,
To know my sins forgiven, is better far than gold. [Refrain]
