Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #33 (1904) First Line: In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore Refrain First Line: By the gate they'll meet us Lyrics: 1 In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore,
Kindred spirits wait us, who have gone before;
There no flowers wither, and no pleasures cloy,
In that land of beauty, in that home of joy.
Refrain:
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
2 In the misty gloaming, death awaits us all;
Silent is his coming, sure the Master’s call;
And the angel-footsteps mark the upward way,
Till the twilight merges into heav’nly day. [Refrain]
3 Trusting in the Saviour, may we humbly wait
Till the holy angels ope the pearly gate;
And the loving Father, from His gracious throne,
Smiling bids us welcome to our heav’nly home. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven and Homeland Tune Title: [In the fadeless springtime]
