While walking out, one evening,

Not knowing where to go

Just to pass the time away

Before we held our show

I heard a little mission band

Playing with all their might

I gave my soul to Jesus

And left the show that night

The day will soon be over

And evening will be done

No more gems to be gathered

So let us all press on

When Jesus comes to claim us

And says it is enough

The diamonds will be shining

No longer in the rough
