Refrain:
Meet me at the Gate, Dear Lord, Meet me at the Gate.
When the race is run, The battle won,
Meet me at the Gate.
Oh Lord, to see you standing there
My sole request, my only prayer.
Oh Lord, that blesséd touch of grace
When I have walked the way called strait
To see you in that heavenly place
Awaiting me beside the gate!
My hope alone in life and death,
If life is short or should I wait,
Through many days to final breathe,
To see you standing at the gate.
Life’s sorrows in its final hour
Release their hold upon the soul
And every grief will lose its power
When finally You complete the scroll.
Life’s trials were a faithful friend
That I with widened eyes might see
What living hope and faith contend
A glorious welcome awaiting me.
To see the saints who went before
A joyous thought to celebrate
But now I long for nothing more
Than see you standing at the gate.
Refrain:
Meet me at the Gate, Dear Lord, Meet me at the Gate.
When the race is run, The battle won,
Meet me at the Gate.
Oh Lord, to see you standing there
My sole request, my only prayer.
