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]
