The Eastern Gate Lyrics & Chords

By Isaiah G. Martin

(C)I will meet you in the morning,
(F)Just inside the Eastern (C)Gate;
Then be ready, faithful (F)pilgrim,
(G)Lest with you it be too (C)late.
Chorus
(C)I will meet you, I will meet you
Just inside the Eastern Gate over (G)there;
I will (C)meet you, I will meet you,
I will meet you in the (G)morning over (C)there.
(C)If you hasten off to glory,
(F)Linger near the Eastern (C)Gate,
For I’m coming in the (F)morning;
(G)So you’ll not have long to (C)wait.
(C)Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning;
(F)For the Bridegroom watch and (C)wait;
He’ll be with us at the (F)meeting
(G)Just inside the Eastern (C)Gate.
(C)Oh, the joys of that glad meeting
(F)With the saints who for us (C)wait!
What a blessed, happy (F)meeting
(G)Just inside the Eastern (C)Gate!
