Composer:Barney E. Warren

973. Bright Jewels

1 When all the dear children are gathering home,
We shall be there, we shall be there;
Bright jewels we’ll shine in that heavenly home,
We shall be there, we shall be there.

Refrain:
We shall be there in that morning,
We shall be there in that morning;
When all the dear children are gathering home,
We shall be there in that morning.

2 Bright jewels He’ll gather to shine in the sky,
We shall be there, we shall be there;
For this the dear Savior did suffer and die,
We shall be there, we shall be there. [Refrain]

3 We’ll sing with the angels that heavenly song,
We shall be there, we shall be there;
Our voices with music His praise shall prolong,
We shall be there, we shall be there. [Refrain]

4 We never shall part in that beautiful clime,
We shall be there, we shall be there;
So happy with Jesus in beauty sublime,
We shall be there, we shall be there. [Refrain]
