| 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.
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.
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.
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.
4. O the joys of that glad meeting
With the saints who for us wait!
What a blessèd, happy meeting
Just inside the Eastern Gate!
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.
