I remember a fair amount of this hymn, and am hoping to find not only the lyrics, but where it might be in a hymn book, or sheet music.
This is by Arthur Smith of North Carolina, who did so much wonderful Christian music, in addition to a whole bunch of popular stuff.
Acres of diamonds, mountains of gold, rivers of silver, jewels untold: all these together couldn'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 and mountains of gold.
George Beverly Shea performed it, so I know it should still be out there in someone's brain!

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.

I typeset the sheet music to Acres of Diamonds and am willing to share if you'll email me - [email][email protected].[/email]
I have written and called Arthur Smith, Clay Music Corporation, and anybody else I could find that has a registered interest in the music. Nobody has answered yet in these almost four years since I started looking! Still, the Lord bless Mr. Smith for this and others of his works in song.
