1 Thro’ the gates to the city, Into endless day, Where all tears and all sorrow Shall be wiped away; Where the life-giving waters Shall forever flow And the leaves of God’s healing Shall forever blow. Refrain: Thro’ the gates, thro’ the gates, Thro’ the gates to the city they shall enter in; Thro’ the gates, thro’ the gates, Thro’ the gates to the city bright and fair. 2 Thro’ the gates to the city See the hosts move on, Passing in to the mansions For the triumph won; There a welcome is waiting By the risen Son; There reward shall be given For the work well done. [Refrain] 3 Thro’ the gates to the city Of eternal fame, By the throne of the Father, There to praise his name. O the rapture of living In an endless day Where all sorrow and sighing Shall have passed away. [Refrain] 4 Thro’ the gates to the city; O the bliss untold, When with songs of rejoicing Will the gates unfold And the saved of all ages Will be gathered home, Singing songs of redemption Round the great white throne. [Refrain] | New Songs of the Gospel: for use in all religious meetings #18 (1900) |
