La ceremonia había terminadoThe [G] ceremony was [C] over
Un joven estaba solo llorandoA [D7] lad stood alone in [G] tears
Porque acababa de despedirseFor he had just [C] said goodbye
De aquella a quien había amado a lo largo de los años.To the [D7] one he had loved thru the [G] years.

Él estaba completamente solo con la cabeza gachaHe stood all alone with his head bowed down
Como si su corazón fuera a romperseAs though his heart would break
Entonces el Pastor se acercó y tomó su manoThen the Parson came over and took his hand
Y estas palabras le dijo.And to him these words he did say.

COROCHORUS
Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyasWhen [G] God comes and gathers his [C] jewels
Todos sus tesoros de diamantes y oroAll his [D7] treasures of diamonds and [G] gold
La encontrarás allá arriba en el cielo tan hermosoYou'll meet her up there in [C] heaven so fair
Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyas.When [D7] God comes and gathers his [G] jewels.
(Sustituiré 'La encontraré...' en el último coro)(Substitute I'll meet her.....on last chorus)

Cada noche cuando la pálida luna brillaEach night when the pale moon is shining
Puedes ver a este joven completamente soloYou can see this lad all alone
Con los ojos levantados hacia el cieloWith his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
Repetía estas palabras que le dijeron.He's repeating these words he was told.
