TEACHING THEM A NEW SONG

“THE EASTERN GATE”

Well it’s not really a ‘new” song per say, it was copyrighted in 1905, written by L.G.Martin

Welcome to Sunday Selections

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, I will meet you
     Just inside the Eastern Gate over there;
     I will meet you, I will meet you,
     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.
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.
4. Oh, the joys of that glad meeting
   With the saints who for us wait!
   What a blessed, happy meeting
   Just inside the Eastern Gate!

 

just gotta love the old classics!
