Tune:[Oh, a lovely valley where living waters flow]
Composer:Rev. G. P. Hott

63. The Very Gate of Heaven

1 Oh, a lovely valley where living waters flow,
Is the very gate of heaven;
And the blooming flowers in sweet profusion grow,
‘Tis the very gate of heaven.

Refrain:
Hosanna, praise His name forever,
All gladness to my heart is given;
This is none other than the house of God,
And the very gate of heav’n.

2 This our Beulah Land where the sun is ever bright,
Is the very gate of heaven;
Here our clouds of sorrow give way to heav’nly light,
‘Tis the very gate of heaven. [Refrain]

3 Let all hearts unite in the praises of His name,
Is the very gate of heaven;
As we sing for aye worthy, worthy is the Lamb,
‘Tis the very gate of heaven. [Refrain]
