WHEN THE PEARLY GATES UNFOLD
hymn by George B. Lock, 19th of March 1894


I have given up all for Jesus
This vain world is naught to me
All its pleasures are forgotten
In remembering Calvary.
Though my friends despise forsake me
And in me the world looks cold
I've a friend that will stand by me
Till the pearly gates unfold.
Though my friends despise forsake me
And in me the world looks cold
I've a friend that will stand by me
Till the pearly gates unfold.
 

Just beyond the waves of Jordon,
Just beyond the chilly tide,
Blooms the tree of life immortal,
Where the living waters glide.
In that happy land of spirit
Flowers bloom in hills of gold,
And the angels are in waiting
Where the pearly gates unfold.
In that happy land of spirit
Flowers bloom in hills of gold,
And the angels are in waiting
Where the pearly gates unfold.
