While walking out one evening
Not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
Before we held our show
I heard the Bethel mission band
Singing with all its might
I gave my heart to Jesus
Then I left the show that night
The day will soon be over
(be over)
And the digging will be done
(And the digging will be)
No more gems be gathered
(No more gems be)
So let us all press on
(So let us all press)
When Jesus comes to claim us
(When Jesus comes to claim)
And says it is enough
(And says it is)
The diamonds will be shining
(The diamonds will be)
No longer in the rough
(No longer in the)
While reading through the Bible
Such wonderful sights I see
I read of Peter, James, and John
By the Sea of Galilee
And Jesus when He found them
He found them mighty tough
For they were precious diamonds
He had gathered in the rough
The day will soon be over
(be over)
And the digging will be done
(And the digging will be)
No more gems be gathered
(No more gems be)
So let us all press on
(So let us all press)
When Jesus comes to claim us
(When Jesus comes to claim)
And says it is enough
(And says it is)
The diamonds will be shining
(The diamonds will be)
No longer in the rough
(No longer in the)
