When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels Lyrics

When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels lyrics

When the ceremony was over

A lad stood alone in tears

For he had just said goodbye

To the one he had loved through the years



He stood all alone with his head bowed down

As though his heart would break

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 gold

You'll meet her up there in Heaven so fair

When God comes and gathers his jewels



Every night when the pale moon is shining

You can see this lad all alone

With his eyes lifted up toward heaven

He's repeating these words he was told



When God comes and gathers his jewels

All his treasures of diamonds and gold

You'll meet her up there in Heaven so fair

When God comes and gathers his jewels



When God comes and gathers his jewels

All His treasures of diamonds and gold

You'll meet her up there in Heaven so fair

When God comes and gathers his jewels
