325. When He Cometh, When He Cometh

1 When he cometh, when he cometh
to make up his jewels,
all his jewels, precious jewels,
his loved and his own.

Refrain:
Like the stars of the morning,
his bright crown adorning,
they shall shine in their beauty,
bright gems for his crown.

2 He will gather, he will gather
the gems for his kingdom,
all the pure ones, all the bright ones,
his loved and his own. [Refrain]

3 Little children, little children
who love their Redeemer,
are the jewels, precious jewels,
his loved and his own. [Refrain]
