The Meeting in the Air

Author: Isaiah Guyman Martin Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12370 First Line: There is soon to be a meeting Refrain First Line: When we all meet there Lyrics: 1 There is soon to be a meeting With our Savior in the air, For He’s gone to realms of glory, There our mansions to prepare; He is coming back to meet us, With a host of angels fair, And there’s sure to be some shouting When we all meet there. Refrain: When we all meet there, At the meeting in the air, There is sure to be some shouting When we all meet there; When we all meet there, At the meeting in the air, There is sure to be some shouting When we all meet there. 2 See the patriarchs and prophets Coming forth from bursting tombs, They are coming to this meeting, And they’re coming very soon; There comes Abraham and Isaac, With their kindred everywhere, There is sure to be some shouting When we all get there. [Refrain] 3 There is Moses from Mount Nebo, There is Daniel from the Cave, They are marching in the forefront, While the hosts their banners wave; O what joy to see them coming, To the meeting in the air! There is sure to be some shouting When they all get there. [Refrain] 4 Still they gather, see them coming, From the mission fields afar, With the pilgrims from all nations, And the martyrs in the war; See St. Paul, the great apostle, In his robes made white and fair, I am sure there’ll be some shouting When they all get there. [Refrain] 5 Are you ready for the meeting With our Savior in the air? If your heart is pure and holy, You will be no stranger there; He is coming soon, my brother, With a host of angels fair, And I’m sure there’ll be some shouting When we all meet there.

I. G. Martin

1862 - 1957 Person Name: I. G. M. Author of "The Meeting in the Air" in Sunday School and Revival Martin, Isaiah Guyman. (Gentry County, Missouri, April 18, 1862--August 23, 1957, Pasadena, California). Richmond School of Music; Missouri (now Kansas) Wesleyan; Iliff School of Theology. Married in 1905, two sons, one daughter. Converted at age 12, joined the Baptist Church; 1893 joined the Methodist Church and began his ministry. 1903 joined the Church of the Nazarene and in 1905 was appointed District Superintendent of "all the territory east of the Rocky Mountains." Pastored First Church of the Nazarene, Chicago; evangelist. Tenor soloist; composed songs as a hobby (around 200), frequently while playing the reed organ. "Eastern Gate" is probably his most familiar hymn. It was written as a tribute to Dr. P.F. Bresee's traditional farewell at gatherings of the Church of the Nazarene, "We will meet at the Eastern Gate." According to Martin, "One of the old-timers was trying to get a tune for some words he had written, but couldn't put it over, so I got to humming a tune, which turned out to be 'Eastern Gate.'" --E.
