[ch]F#[/ch]
While walking out one evening,
[ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
Not knowing where to go
[ch]F#[/ch]
Just to pass the time away
[ch]C#[/ch]
Before we held our show
[ch]F#[/ch]
I heard a little mission band
[ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
Playing with all their might
[ch]F#[/ch]
I gave my soul to Jesus
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
And left the show that night
[ch]F#[/ch]
The day will soon be over
[ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
And evening will be done
[ch]F#[/ch]
No more gems to be gathered
[ch]C#[/ch]
So let us all press on
[ch]F#[/ch]
When Jesus comes to claim us
[ch]B[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
And says it is enough
[ch]F#[/ch]
The diamonds will be shining
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]C#[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
No longer in the rough
