Lyrics

Verse 1
When He com­eth, when He com­eth
To make up His jew­els, (Mal. 3:17)
All His jew­els, pre­cious jew­els,
His loved and His own.

Chorus
Like the stars of the morn­ing, (Dan. 12:3)
His bright­ness adorn­ing,
They shall shine in their beau­ty,
Bright gems for His crown. (Zech. 9:16, Isa. 62:3)

Verse 2
He will ga­ther, He will ga­ther
The gems for His king­dom; (Mal. 3:17)
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own. (Matt. 13:41-43)

Verse 3
Little child­ren, lit­tle child­ren,
Who love their Re­deem­er,
Are the jew­els, pre­cious jew­els,
His loved and His own. (Mal. 3:17)
