Waiting at His Gates

By:
Beulah Land.
1. I’ve heard Him say, my Saviour say,
“The night has almost passed away;”
And in my heart the day birds sing
The glories of the coming King.
Chorus: ―
O Jesus Christ! Lord Jesus Christ!
One glance at Thee my soul sufficed:
And never more shall earthly night
Rob my rapt spirit of that sight;
I’ve seen the Saviour in the skies,
And heaven has shone before my eyes.
2. I’ve watched on hills of faith afar
To see Him rise, the Morning Star;
Till heavenly radiance seemed to shine
Upon me from those hills divine.
Chorus: ―
3. And soon my longing eyes shall see
The face of Him who died for me;
And I shall hear from glory’s seats
My welcome to the golden streets.
Chorus: ―
4. And oh! what gifts of love are given
Where glory shines and all is heaven;
But I shall all my praises give
To Him who died that I might live.
Chorus: ―
