When the day of days shall come,
And our Lord returns again—
Comes in clouds of shining glo­ry
All His faithful ones to claim—
When the vic­to­ry is gained,
And we lay our trophies down,
May I be a little jewel
In the blessèd Sav­ior’s crown.

Refrain

I will be a loyal soldier,
Tho’ the world may scoff and frown;
Only let me be a jewel
In the blessèd Sav­ior’s crown.

Here my light may not be seen
By the careless worldly throng,
And they may be few who listen
As I sing my happy song;
But when angels for His own
Come the parted skies adown,
I would be a shining jewel
In the blessèd Sav­ior’s crown.

Refrain

In the Bi­ble I have read
How His people then shall shine,
As the flashing stars of Hea­ven
Midst the glo­ry light divine.
If among the wise I work,
Seeking souls to gain renown,
I shall be a precious jewel
In the blessèd Sav­ior’s crown.

Refrain
