Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #26 (1901) First Line: Some day I shall cross the river Refrain First Line: At portals of the Heav'nly gate Lyrics: 1 Some day I shall cross the river,
I know not if soon or late,
But this do I know—the Saviour
Will meet me at Heaven’s gate!
Refrain:
At portals of the Heav’nly gate
My Lord will stand and for me wait,
All sorrow past—all safe at last,
I’ll enter through the Heav’nly gate.
2 O joyful will be the meeting,
When safe in His blest embrace!
I’ll dwell in His glorious presence,
Beholding Him face to face. [Refrain]
3 Earth’s sorrows will seem as nothing
When loved ones again I see,
And life but a little journey
To that blest Eternity! [Refrain] Tune Title: [Some day I shall cross the river]
At Heaven’s Gate
