Artist/Band: Hank Williams Sr.
Lyrics for Song: When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels
Lyrics for Album: The Gospel According to Hank Williams [IMC] [2005]



(Hank Williams)



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

Then the Parson came over and took his hand

And to him these words he did say.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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...
