"Beyond the gates beyond the sunset

New life immortal for us waits

We'll be at home on life's fair morning

Beyond the gates beyond the gates

Beyond the gates of life so fleeting

There is for us a better home

A place where peace shall reign forever

And sighs and tears shall never come

Beyond the gates of all sad partings

Where grief and pain our hearts make sore

We'll meet again our own dear loved ones

And see their welcome smiles once more

Beyond the gates in Jesus' likeness

Forevermore we shall live on

I want to meet you Christian brother

I'll look for you when morn shall dawn."
