F#
While walking out one evening,
BF#
Not knowing where to go
F#
Just to pass the time away
C#
Before we held our show
F#
I heard a little mission band
BF#
Playing with all their might
F#
I gave my soul to Jesus
F#C#F#
And left the show that night
F#
The day will soon be over
BF#
And evening will be done
F#
No more gems to be gathered
C#
So let us all press on
F#
When Jesus comes to claim us
BF#
And says it is enough
F#
The diamonds will be shining
F#C#F#
No longer in the rough
