Fount of Blessing ‎#113

113. "I'm Nearing The Gates"

1 "I'm nearing the gates" of the city,
Yon city so bright and so fair;
With Christ and the angels attending,
Oh, glory! I soon shall be there.

Chorus:
I'm nearing the beautiful gates,
I'm nearing the beautiful gates,
I'm nearing the beautiful gates of the city,
The beautiful city of God.

2 "I'm nearing the gates" of the city,
where death has no terror or sing;
I soon shall be happy forever
With Jesus, my Savior and King [Chorus]

3 "Eternity dawns" like a morning
Of sunshine and beauty most rare;
All glory to Jesus, my Savior,
I'll soon be at home with him there. [Chorus]
