Representative Text

1 Jesus waits for you at the golden gate,
In His home so bright and fair,
‘Tis not far,—just over the silent sea,
Will you meet Him, meet Him there?

Refrain:
Jesus waits for you at the golden gate,
In the city of the New Jerusalem,
With the blood-wash’d throng!
Will you meet Him there, in the city of the New Jerusalem?

2 Jesus speaks to you thro’ His blessed Word,
And His message is so sweet,
Hear Him saying “Come unto me my child,
I will guide your wand’ring feet.” [Refrain]

3 Everlasting life is the promise given
To the soul who will believe;
Why not trust in Him, take Him at His word,
And the blessing now receive. [Refrain]
