The ceremony was over

G
A lad stood alone in tears
C
For he had just said goodbye
D7
G
To the one he had loved through the years
C
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
D7
G
As though his heart would break
C
Then the Parson came over and took his hand
D7
G
And to him these words he did say
C
When God comes and gathers his jewels
D7
G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
C
You’ll meet her up there up in heaven so fair
D7
G
When God comes and gathers his jewels
C
Each night when the pale moon is shining
D7
G
You can see this lad all alone
C
With his eyes lifted toward heaven
D7
G
He’s repeating these words he was told
C
When God comes and gathers his jewels
D7
G
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
C
You’ll meet her up there up in heaven so fair
D7
G
When God comes and gathers his jewels
