Calvary Songs #290
1. Not all earth’s gold and silver
Can make a sinner whole;
What shall it profit thee, O man,
If thou should’st lose thy soul?
Refrain
What shall it profit a man,
What shall it profit a man,
If He gain the whole world,
And lose his own soul?
2. The heaping up of riches
To many seems life’s goal;
But in the eager rush for wealth,
Forgotten is the soul. [Refrain]
3. This solemn question answer:
Is worldly gain thy goal?
Can fleeting riches be compared
To an immortal soul? [Refrain]
