When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels

The ceremony was over
 A lad stood alone in tears
 For he had just said goodbye
 To the one he had loved thru the years
 He stood all alone with his head bowed 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 gold
 You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
 When God comes and gathers his jewels
 Each night when the pale moon is shining
 You can see this lad all alone
 With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
 He's repeating these words he was told
 When God comes and gathers his jewels
 All his treasures of diamonds and gold
 I'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
 I'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
 When God comes and gathers his jewels
