When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels Lyrics

    Written and recorded by hank williams sr.

    The [g] ceremony was [c] over
    A [d7] lad stood alone in [g] tears
    For he had just [c] said goodbye
    To the [d7] one he had loved thru the [g] 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.

    Chorus
    When [g] god comes and gathers his [c] jewels
    All his [d7] treasures of diamonds and [g] gold
    You'll meet her up there in [c] heaven so fair
    When [d7] god comes and gathers his [g] jewels.
    (substitute i'll meet her.....on last chorus)

    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.

    Chorus
