The Heavenly Gate Trio
Created by Joy 12 years ago
Many years ago in the 1950's Bernie, Geoff and Maurice Cooper started a gospel singing group, called the Heavenly Gate Trio. I have uploaded 2 recordings of songs the trio made during that time. You will find them on the Sound page (http://bernard.norris.muchloved.com/frame.aspx?df=false).
Here are the lyrics for these gospel songs:
I’m longing for that glorious day
when Jesus shall come back
I long to see His blessed face
When all the saints throughout the ages
Shall be gathered home
The ones who trusted in His grace
Chorus
I’m longing for Jesus to come back
I long for Jesus Christ my King
To come and take me to my home beyond the skies
Up there where angels shout and sing
Sometimes the road seems rough and hard
The pathway seems so long
But He is always by my side
He whispers loving words to me
And tells me to be strong
That He will always lead and guide
Chorus
I’m longing for Jesus to come back
I long for Jesus Christ my King
To come and take me to my home beyond the sky
Up there where angels shout and sing
Oh! What a glorious day t'will be
When through the air I go
To meet the One who died for me
My sorrows, sick, trials and tears
Will all be left behind
For there my joy will be complete
Chorus
I’m longing for Jesus to come back
I long for Jesus Christ my King
To come and take me to my home beyond the sky
Up there where angels shout and sing

MELODY IN THE NIGHT
Words by E.L. Slavens and Ira F. Stanphill
You can have a melody down in your heart,
When it's aching, almost breaking.
Even tho' the sorrows make the teardrops start,
You can have a melody down in your heart.
Chorus:
You can have a song in your heart in the night
After every trial, after every mile.
Anyone can sing when the sun is shining bright,
But you need a song in your heart at the night.
Do not let your worries drive your song away,
Though tomorrow brings its sorrow,
Just remember after night time comes the day.
Do not let your worries drive your song away.
Soon the night will pass and morning brings the day;
I am longing for its dawning,
Until then we'll labour here and watch and pray,
Soon the night will pass and morning bring the day.
