[Bb] While walking out one [Cm] evening [Eb] not knowing where [Bb] to go
Just to pass the time away before [F] we held our show
[Bb] I heard the best of Missions [Eb] band singing with all [Bb] their might
I give my heart to Jesus [F] and lift the [Dm] show [Bb] that night
The day will soon be over [Eb]
and digging will [Bb] be done
And no more dims me gather so let us [A] all [F] press on
[Bb] When Jesus comes to claim [Eb] us and says it [Bb] is enough
The diamonds will be shining [F] no longer [A] [Bb] in the rough
One day my precious comrades [Eb] you too were lost [Bb] in sin
And others sought your rescue and [F] Jesus [F] took you in
And [Bb] when your tartan [Eb] tempted and stoppers [Bb] can't rebuff
Don't turn away in anger [F] this time [Dm] until [Bb] the love
The day will soon be over [Eb] and digging will [Bb] be done
And no more dims me gather so let us all [F] press on
[Bb] When Jesus comes to claim [Eb] us and says it is [Bb] enough
The diamonds will be shining [F]
no longer [A] in [Bb] the rough
While reading through the [C] Bible [Eb] some wonderous [Bb] sights I see
I read of Peter, James and John by the [F] Sea of Galilee
[Bb] And Jesus when he found [Eb] them he found them [Bb] very tough
And they were precious diamonds [F] he gathered [Bb] in the rough
The day will soon be over [Eb] and digging will [Bb] be done
And no more dims me gather so let us [F] all press on
[Bb] When Jesus comes to claim [Eb] us and says it [Bb] is enough
The diamonds will be shining [F] no [A] longer [Bb] in the rough
