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.

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 bless­èd

hap­py meet­ing

Just in­side the East­ern Gate!
