About Gaither Vocal Band
The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

The Eastern Gate Lyrics
Oh, I will meet you in the morning
Just inside the Eastern Gate.
Then be ready, faithful pilgrim
Lest with you it be too late.
I will meet you (in the morning)
I will meet you (in the morning)
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there.
I will meet you (in the morning)
I will meet you (in the morning)
I will meet you in the morning over there.
If you hasten off to glory
Just linger near the Eastern Gate
For I’m coming in the morning;
And you’ll not have long to wait.
Oh, but you must keep your lamps all trimmed and burning;
And for the Bridegroom watch and wait.
And then with joy we’re gonna see Jesus
Just inside the Eastern Gate.
Where I want to meet you (in the morning)
I want to meet you (in the morning)
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there.
Where I want to meet you (in the morning)
I want to meet you (in the morning)
I will meet you in the morning over there.
Now I plan to meet you (in the morning)
I want to meet you (in the morning)
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there
Oh, I want to meet you (in the morning)
I want to meet you (in the morning)
Oh, I will meet you in the morning over there
