When He Cometh
Verse 1
When He cometh, when He cometh
To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Refrain
Like the stars of the morning,
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
His bright crown adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.
Verse 2
He will gather, He will gather
The gems for His kingdom
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own.
The gems for His kingdom
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own.
Verse 3
Little children, little children
Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.
Cushing's hymn became a signature advent song in Seventh-day Adventist hymnody with its hopeful refrain.
