Acres of diamonds, Mountains of gold,

Acres of diamonds, Mountains of gold,
Rivers of silver, jewels untold;
All these together wouldn’t buy you or me
Peace when we’re sleeping, a conscience that’s free.
A heart that’s contented, a satisfied mind;
These are the treasures money can’t buy:
If you have Jesus,
there’s more wealth in your soul,
Than acres of diamonds and mountains of gold.

1. According to Thy lovingkindness Father,

1. According to Thy lovingkindness Father,
Have mercy on my sinful, wretched soul;
Make me to know once more Thy joy and gladness,
Blot out my sin, O cleanse and make me whole.

I humbly now acknowledge my transgression,
Against Thee only, Father is my sin;
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation
O purify my life, without within.

2. A contrite heart I offer Thee,
Dear Father O hide Thy face from all my sin,I pray;
According to Thy tender love and mercy,
O pardon Lord, This soul that went astray.
