It sparkles at the breaking day
The sun kissed dew of early morn
Like countless jewels on display
The grassy fields with beads adorn
When darkness cloaks the closing day
A myriad of stars shining bright
Like sparkling diamonds in array
Adorn the blackened sky of night
People seek the wealth of earth
In gold and silver and precious gem
But death comes calling after birth
What good will riches do for them?
When in life they did not grasp
The pearl of salvation bought at cost
And offered free; but in a gasp
Life is gone and souls are lost
The King of Heaven will arise
From throne of glory coming down
Seeking His jewels bought at a price
To set them in His golden crown
Each one is a precious gem
A redeemed soul by His spirit born
The royal brow will wear a glorious diadem
When once it wore a crown of thorn
They will sparkle because of that day
God’s Son paid for sin; when in scorn
Cruel men led Him Calvary way
His blood like dew sprinkled the grass in morn
When darkness cloaked three hours of day
A myriad of angels shining bright
Gazed from Heaven in silent array
At Jesus suffering under sky as night
We will shine brighter than stars of sky
Dewdrops of His blood washed sins away
The royal Prince is coming in a twinkling of eye
To gather His jewels some glorious day
