When God Comes To Gather His Jewels

[Guest]

I believe this is the chorus and would like all the words.
When God comes to gather his jewels
His precious diamonds and pearls
I'll be over there in that land so fair
When God comes to gather his jewels

[DownToTheAltar]

This is the version I know. God bless. I hope it is the right one.

When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels

The ceremony was over
A lad stood alone in tears
For he had just said good-bye
To the one he had loved through the years

He stood all alone with his head bowecd down
As though his heart would break
Then the parson came over and took his hand
And to him these words he did say.

When God comes and gathers His jewels
All His treasures of diamonds and pearls
You'll see her up there up in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers His jewels.

Now, each night when the pale moon is shining
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted towards heaven
He's repeating these words he was told.

When God comes and gathers His jewels
All His treasures of diamonds and pearls
I'll meet you up there, up in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers His jewels.
