[Intro]
F C F

[Verse 1]
While strolling out one evening
      Bb              F
not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
  G7                 C
before we held our show
    F
I heard the Bethel Mission
        Bb                  F
Choir singing with all its might
I gave my heart to Jesus and
            C          F
I left the show that night

[Chorus]
The day will soon be over
          Bb             F
and the digging will be done
No more gems to gather
    G7              C
so let us all press on
       F
When Jesus comes to claim
        Bb          F
us and says it is enough

The diamonds will be shining
          C        F
no longer in the rough

[Verse 2]
While reading through the Bible
       Bb               F
such wondrous sights I see
I read of Peter, James and John
        G7       C
on the sea of Galilee
      F
And Jesus when He found them
     Bb                F
He found them mighty tough
They were precious diamonds
              C        F
He'd gathered in the rough

[Chorus]
The day will soon be over

No more gems to gather

so let us all press on
       F
When Jesus comes to claim us
     Bb          F
and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining
          C        F
no longer in the rough

[Outro]
The diamonds will be shining
          C        F
