Text: | Gates Beyond the Tide |
Author: | Miss Juliet Goodlett |
Tune: | [There are gates beyond the tide] |
Composer: | J. B. Sherman |
1 There are gates beyond the tide,
Gates that stand forever wide,
Where the weary and oppress'd
Shall secure a home of rest.
Chorus:
Oh, to dwell within the gates, the pearly, pearly gates,
Oh, to dwell within the gates of the new Jerusalem!
2 Through the gates the children go,
Where the crystal streams do flow;
Through the gates the aged one
Finds a never-setting sun. [Chorus]
3 There is beauty at the gates,
For a golden crown awaits,
And bright robes of purest white,
To adorn the saints of light. [Chorus]
4 There's a Saviour at the gates,
Who with loving smile awaits
To reward the hero band
Who have fought for Canaan's land. [Chorus]
5 At the gates the Shepherd claims
All the sheep that Jesus names,
Takes them in his gracious arm,
Keeps them safe from every harm. [Chorus]
