Jewels
Twila Paris's rendition of "Jewels" is a gentle hymn that reflects on Christ's return and the gathering of His faithful followers, often associated with children. The lyrics use the imagery of precious jewels and stars to describe believers who love their Redeemer, promising they will shine in beauty as part of His crown. The song conveys a sense of hope and assurance about being cherished by God and included in His kingdom. It is a classic hymn that emphasizes the value of the faithful and the joy of being gathered by Christ.
When He cometh, when He cometh
To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Like the stars of the morning
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
He will gather, He will gather
The gems for His kingdom,
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own.
Like the stars of the morning
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
Little children, little children,
Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Like the stars of the morning
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
