Author: Arthur W. French Hymnal: Light and Life #18 (1881) First Line: There is a beautiful story Lyrics: 1 There is a beautiful story, That when earth's pilgrims get home, To the bright mansions in glory, No more to wander or roam; Be they so humble or lowly, Yet a sweet welcome awaits, This the grand song of the holy, Open the beautiful gates, This the grand song of the holy, Open the beautiful gates. Chorus: Open the beautiful gates, Here is a wand'rer that waits, Weary and cold, Out of the fold, Open the beautiful gates. 2 Lov'd ones are leaving us ever, Fading from you and from me, And the dear faces we never, Here in this earth-borne shall see; Heaven's bright sunlight is falling, Over the lov'd one that waits, Angelic voices still calling, Open the beautiful gates, Angelic voices still calling, Open the beautiful gates. [Chorus] 3 Wearily here we now wander, Over the troublesome way, Looking with glad eyes up yonder, To that fair realm of bright day; Keeping the sweetest foreknowing, Of all the bliss that awaits, Hearing this song in our going, Open the beautiful gates, Hearing this song in our going, Open the beautiful gates. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a beautiful story]
