Songs of Summerland ‎#121

121. At the Golden Gate

1 At the golden gate our lov’d are waiting,
Gather’d there beyond the great divide;
And at times we hear their tender voices
Calling to us from life’s other side.

Refrain:
At the golden gate our lov’d are waiting,
They who once this earthly journey trod;
And with beck’ning hands they bid us welcome,
Welcome to the Paradise of God.

2 O how thin the veil that lies between us
And the friends so dear we lost a while!
We may almost see their radiant faces,
We may almost catch their gracious smile. [Refrain]

3 All the sons of God are but one fam’ly
Whether on this earthly plane below
Or up there on yonder heights of glory;
We are join’d in heart with them, we know. [Refrain]
