Songs of the Saints ‎#281

281. The Eastern gate

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

Refrain:
I will meet you (in the morning),
I will meet you (in the morning),
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there,
I will meet you (in the morning),
I will meet you (in the morning),
I will meet you in the morning over there.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 O the joy of that glad meeting,
With the saints who for us wait,
What a blessed, happy meeting,
Just inside the Eastern Gate. [Refrain]
