By the Gate They'll Meet Us

Verse 1

Holy, happy angels Guard the Christian’s way, Never from his path they stray; Ever on their mission, They their vigils keep, Guarding all his waking, Watching all his sleep.

Chorus

By the gate they’ll meet us, ’Neath the golden sky, Meet us at the portals, Meet us by and by; By the gate they’ll meet us, ’Neath the golden sky, Meet us at the portals, Meet us by and by.

Verse 2

Tho’ we may not see them With our mortal eyes, By the light of Time’s dim skies; Yet we hear their whispers, Pointing far away, To the golden luster Of eternal day.

Verse 3

Holy, happy angels, Sent us from above, Thro’ the Savior’s gracious love; Be ye ever near us, Guarding all our way, Till we reach the mansion Of eternal day.
