Gathering Gems for His Crown

Author: E. A. H Hymnal: Songs of Matchless Love #20 (1904) First Line: Gathering from each kindred and nation Refrain First Line: Gathering gems for the King's coronation Lyrics: 1 Gathering from each kindred and nation, Gathering from the earth’s wide creation, Gathering in the heirs of salvation, Gathering souls as gems for His crown. Refrain: Gathering gems for the King’s coronation, Jewels of love from each kindred and nation, Gathering in the heirs of salvation, Gathering beautiful gems for His crown. 2 Gathering from the hedges and highways, Gathering from the lanes and the byways, Gathering from the far and the nigh ways, Gathering souls as gems for His crown. [Refrain] 3 Gathering in the sinful and weary, Out of a life unhappy and dreary, Unto a life all sun-bright and cheery, Gathering souls as gems for His crown. [Refrain] 4 Gathering in the lost and transgressing, Gathering souls their Savior confessing, Gathering them to share heaven’s blessing, Gathering them as gems for His crown. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Gathering from each kindred and nation]
