Trinity Hymnal ‎#651

651. 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]

Amen.
