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, 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. [Refrain]

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.

[Refrain]
