A lad stood alone in tears.

He stood all alone with his head bowed down,
D G
As though his heart would break.

Then the Parson came over and took his hand,
D G
And to him these words he did say:

When God comes and gathers his jewels,
D G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold.

You'll meet her up there up in heaven so fair,

When God comes and gathers his jewels.
