zcomposer.please send me a copy.
My husband is a minister and he has a hold series he is going to preach on this. He is going to use the title and the song I am just not good at playing by ear.
I would appreciate it .

I have just gotten an email from someone who says she has three verses. If this turns out to have been true, I'll get back with updates on that too.

I have re-typeset this song - the sheet music - and can send you a copy if you ask. I should note that there is no second verse.

Here is my reply to a previous request for Acres of Diamonds. Maybe there isn't a 2nd verse. George Beverly Shea didn't have one in his Gospel song book.

Tonight as I was searching amongst my late mom's music for a certain song I found a George Beverly Shea gospel music book and the song you are wanting is in it. The book is "George Beverly Shea-Inspirational Gems" with the Book Design Copyright 1978 The Big 3 Music Corporation, New York, NY

The song Acres of Diamonds
words & music by Arthur Smith
on pages 14 & 15

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 or 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, mountains of gold.

Repeat

Maybe this would help you in finding a copy of the song. Good luck.

I need the words to the second verse of Acres of Diamonds by Arthur Smith 1959
