the eastern gate

I will meet you in the morning, Just inside the Eastern Gate, Then be
ready, faithful pilgrim, Lest with you it be too late.

CHORUS
I will meet you, I will meet you
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there;
I will meet you, I will meet you,
I will meet you in the morning over
there.

If you hasten off to glory, Linger near the Eastern Gate, For I’m coming in
the morning, So you’ll not have long
to wait.

Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning.
For the Bridegroom watch and wait, He’ll be with us at the meeting, Just inside the Eastern Gate.


O the joys of that glad meeting With the saints who for us wait, What a
blessed, happy meeting, Just inside the
Eastern Gate.
