Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel #83 (1900) First Line: My Saviour has a home prepared beyond the skies Refrain First Line: I know he will meet me at the gate Lyrics: 1 My Saviour has a home prepared beyond the skies,
Where ransomed ones my coming await;
And when my Lord shall bid me enter Paradise,
I want to meet my Saviour at the gate.
Refrain:
I know he will meet me at the gate,
I know he will meet me at the gate;
When before the jasper wall, on my Saviour’s name I call,
Then I know he will meet me at the gate.
2 I long to see his face, my Prophet, Priest and King;
I long to meet those loved ones who wait
Within the Jasper walls, where harps of angels ring;
I long to meet my Saviour at the gate. [Refrain]
3 Within the city fair the streets are paved with gold,
There loved ones never more separate;
But sweeter still the thought that Jesus I’ll behold,
For surely he will meet me at the gate. [Refrain]
4 So all the way along by faith I’ll hold his hand,
My life and all to him consecrate,
And know that, when at last I reach the promised land,
My Saviour will be waiting at the gate. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My Savior has a home prepared beyond the skies]

C. Austin Miles
1868 - 1946 Composer of "[My Savior has a home prepared beyond the skies]" in New Songs of the Gospel Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA.

Johnson Oatman, Jr.
1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "He Will Meet Me at the Gate" in New Songs of the Gospel Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides.
He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns.
In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy.
