In the fadeless springtime,
On the heavenly shore,
Kindred spirits wait us,
Who have gone before;
There no flowers wither,
And no pleasures cloy,
In that land of beauty,
In that home of joy.
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
In the misty gloaming
Death awaits us all;
Silent is his coming,
Sure the Master’s call;
And the angel-footsteps
Mark the upward way,
Till the twilight merges
Into heavenly day.
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
Trusting in the Saviour,
May we humbly wait
Till the holy angels
Ope the pearly gate,
And the loving Father,
From His gracious throne,
Smiling, bids us welcome
To our heavenly home.
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
