NO TEARS PAST THE GATE

Someone new has entered our eternal home above.

The heavenly gate has opened wide

to welcome the one you love.

We cannot help the tears that fall-

our hearts need time to grieve

when earthly life has ended

and a loved one has to leave.

Yet even in the saddest time,

we know our Savior lives,

and we can trust completely

in the promise that he gives.

That in a glad reunion with the Lord,

our loved ones wait

to welcome us in joy

with no more tears

beyond the gate!
