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'll be coming in the morning
So you'll not have long to wait
REFRAIN
3
Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning
For the Bride Groom watch and wait
He'll be with us in the morning
Just inside the Eastern gate
REFRAIN
4
O the joys of that glad meeting
With the saints who for us wait
What a blessed happy meeting
Just inside the Eastern gate
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
