Orig.: Bb
A
While walking out one evening
D A
Not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
E
Before we held our show
A
I heard the Bethel mission’s band
D A
Singing with all their might
I give my heart to Jesus
E A
And left the show that night
A
The day will soon be over
D A
And digging will be done
And no more gems be gathered,
E
so let us all press on
A
When Jesus comes to claim us
D A
and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining,
E A
no longer in the rough
A
One day, my precious comrade
D A
You, too, were lost in sin
And others sought your rescue
E
And Jesus took you in
A
And when you're tired and tempted
D A
And scoffers can rebuff
Don't turn away in anger
E A
This diamond in the rough
A
The day will soon be over
D A
and digging will be done
And no more gems be gathered,
E
so let us all press on
A
When Jesus comes to claim us
D A
and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining,
E A
no longer in the rough
A
While reading through the Bible
D A
Some wondrous sights I see
I read of Peter, James, and John
E
By the Sea of Galilee
A
And Jesus when he found them
D A
He found them very tough
And they were precious diamonds
E A
He gathered in the rough
A
The day will soon be over
D A
and digging will be done
And no more gems be gathered,
E
so let us all press on
A
When Jesus comes to claim us
D A
and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining,
E A
no longer in the rough
