Something More Than Gold
Author: R. E. W.; Sister Helen Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: A little man of whom we read Refrain First Line: O yes, O yes, there's something more Lyrics: 1 A little man of whom we read
Who lived in days of old,
Tho' he was rich yet felt his need
Of something more than gold.
Refrain:
O yes, O yes, there’s something more,
There's something more than gold,
To have your sins all under the blood
Is something more than gold,
O yes, O yes, there’s something more,
There's something more than gold,
For Christ to give His Spirit and heal
Is something more than gold.

This little man was told
That Jesus Christ would pass that way
With something more than gold. [Refrain]

And he could scarce behold,
So he climbed up a sycamore tree
For something more than gold. [Refrain]

He cried with accents bold,
"Come down, come down, I've brought for thee
That which is more than gold. [Refrain]

The half had not been told
Of life, of health and peace within,
That's better far than gold. [Refrain]

A cripple did behold,
Who asked for alms, he did not know
There's something more than gold. [Refrain]

"No wealth have we, behold,
"But what we have we give today,
'Tis better far than gold." [Refrain]
8 They touched him then and bade him walk,
In Jesus' name, we're told,
Fire fell from heav'n, he leaped for joy,
'Twas better far than gold. [Refrain]
9 And so today there's power still,
The half has not been told,
Of Christ who saves and Christ who heals
With pow'r that's more than gold. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [A little man of whom we read]

R. E. Winsett
1876 - 1952 Person Name: R. E. W. Arranger of "Something More Than Gold" in Glory Songs Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.

Author of "Something More Than Gold" in Choice Hymns of the Faith In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
