Precious Jewels (When He Cometh) (Cushing, Root; public domain)
1. When He cometh, when He cometh, To make up His jewels,
All his bright ones, His fair ones, His loved and His own

They will shine in their beauty, Bright gems for His crown.
2. He will gather, He will gather, The gems for His kingdom;

3. Little children, little children, Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels, His loved and His own.
