Inside the Gate

([SAVED ONES IN GLORY ARE WAITING FOR ME])
1.

Loved ones in glory are waiting for me,
Just inside the gate;
Some golden morning their faces I'll see,
Just inside the gate; (pearly gate;)
There will be shouting and singing up there,
Glory forever with them we shall share,
When we shall enter our mansion so fair,
Inside the gate. (Just inside the gate.)

Chorus:
Inside the home gate, where friends for me wait,
(Just inside beautiful gate dearest friends anxiously wait,)
With angels of light, all robed in pure white,
(Angels bright, angels of light, robed in pure white, purest of white;)
'Twill be a glad day, a wonderful day,
(It will be such a glad day, wonderful, wonderful day,)
When we enter that home, just inside, inside the beautiful gate.
(Enter that home, beautiful home, just inside the gate.)

2.

Think of that beautiful city of gold,
Just inside the gate;
Where with the ransomed we'll live, I am told,
Just inside the gate; (pearly gate;)
There our dear Savior and friends we shall meet,
And with the angels we'll walk down the street,
Beautiful home where our joys are complete,
Inside the gate. (Just inside the gate.)

Chorus:
Inside the home gate, where friends for me wait,
(Just inside beautiful gate dearest friends anxiously wait,)
With angels of light, all robed in pure white,
(Angels bright, angels of light, robed in pure white, purest of white;)
'Twill be a glad day, a wonderful day,
(It will be such a glad day, wonderful, wonderful day,)
When we enter that home, just inside, inside the beautiful gate.
(Enter that home, beautiful home, just inside the gate.)

3.

Wonderful music there surely will be,
Just inside the gate;
All the sweet singers of heaven we'll see,
Just inside the gate; (pearly gate;)
We shall rejoice while the ages shall roll,
Joining with angels His name to extol,
There in the beautiful home of the soul,
Inside the gate. (Just inside the gate.)

Chorus:
Inside the home gate, where friends for me wait,
(Just inside beautiful gate dearest friends anxiously wait,)
With angels of light, all robed in pure white,
(Angels bright, angels of light, robed in pure white, purest of white;)
'Twill be a glad day, a wonderful day,
(It will be such a glad day, wonderful, wonderful day,)
When we enter that home, just inside, inside the beautiful gate.
(Enter that home, beautiful home, just inside the gate.)

4.

We shall see Jesus, O praise His dear name,
Just inside the gate;
All through the ages His grace we'll proclaim,
Just inside the gate; (pearly gate;)
Angels and loved ones are looking this way,
Hoping to greet us some wonderful day,
When we move over to heaven to stay,
Inside the gate. (Just inside the gate.)
