When God Comes & Gathers His Jewels
The ceremony was overA lad stood alone in tearsFor he had just said goodbyeTo the one he had loved through the yearsHe stood all alone with his head bowed downAs though his heart would breakThen the parson came over and took his handAnd to him these words he did sayWhen God comes and gathers His jewelsAll His treasures of diamonds and goldYou'll meet her up there, up in Heaven so fairWhen God comes and gathers His jewelsEach night when the pale moon is shiningYou can see this lad all aloneWith his eyes lifted towards HeavenHe's repeating these words he was toldWhen God comes and gathers His jewelsAll His treasures of diamonds and goldI'll meet you up there, up in Heaven so fairWhen God comes and gathers His jewelsWhen God comes and gathers His jewelsAll His treasures of diamonds and goldI'll meet you up there, up in Heaven so fairWhen God comes and gathers His jewels
