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 the Eastern Gate over there;

I will meet you, I will meet you,

I will meet you in the morning over there.

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.

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.

Oh, the joys of that glad meeting

With the saints who for us wait!

What a blessed, happy meeting

Just inside the Eastern Gate!
