When God Comes & Gathers His Jewels Lyrics - Hank Williams

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. 

(Substitute I'll meet her... on last )

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.
