Words to song

Hi Guest,

The words that come to mind are "The Eastern Gate", or "I Will Meet You in the Morning". You can find lyrics to that on this separate thread (scroll down to my post of June 6, 2005):

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

chorus:
I will meet you I will meet you just inside
in the morning, in the morning,



the eastern gate over there; I will meet you I wil meet you
in the morning, in


I wil meet you in the morning over there.
the morning,



(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) O, the joy of that glad meeting with the saints who for us wait !
What a blessed happy meeting just inside the eastern gate.

I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MORNING


I'll meet you in the morning,
By the bright riverside,
When all sorrow has drifted away;
I'll be standing at the portals,
When the gates open wide,
At the close of life's long, dreary day.

I'll meet you in the morning with a "How do you do,"
And we'll sit down by the river,
And with rapture auld acquaintance renew.
You'll know me in the morning,
By the smiles that I wear,
When I meet you in the morning
In that city that is built foursquare.

I'll meet you in the morning,
In the sweet by and by,
And exchange the old cross for a crown;
There'll be no disappointments and nobody shall die,
In that land, Where the sun goeth down.

I will meet you in the morning,
At the end of the way,
On the streets of that city of gold;
Where we all can be together and be happy for aye,
While the years and the ages shall roll.

I'll meet you in the morning with a "How do you do,"
And we'll sit down by the river,
And with rapture auld acquaintance renew.
You'll know me in the morning,
By the smiles that I wear,
When I meet you in the morning
In that city that is built foursquare.
