1 Jewel gatherers for a crown,
Know ye not that many a gem
Now in darkness trampled down,
Might bedeck a diadem?
Refrain:
Gathering jewels, precious jewels,
Blood bought souls we seek to bring:
Gathering jewels, precious jewels,
For the crown of Christ our king.
2 Souls for whom the Savior died,
Souls enwrapped in sinful night,
Go and seek them far and wide,
They will glitter in His sight. [Refrain]
3 Gems by cruel hands defaced,
Pearls in heathen shadows dim,
Brilliants scattered in the waste,
We must gather up for Him. [Refrain]
4 With His blood washed white and pure,
Graven with His name divine,
These our jewels shall endure,
When the stars shall cease to shine. [Refrain]
5 Then our work shall be complete,
Then we’ll lay our offerings down,
We will lay them at His feet,
He will lift them to His crown. [Refrain]
