At Heaven’s Gate

At Heaven’s gate I know will wait

     A tiny angel boy,

In spotless white to lead us right

     Into the realms of joy.

At first we could not understand,

     He was so strangely given;

But now we know it was to show

     What pureness lies in Heaven.

The motive too, was wise and true,

     And came direct from God;

We can discern it was to turn

     Our thoughts more Heavenward.
