Shall We Gather at the River?
1
Shall we gather at the riverWhere bright angel-feet have trod;With its crystal tide foreverFlowing by the throne of God?
Chorus.
Yes, we'll gather at the river,The beautiful, the beautiful river;Gather with the saints at the riverThat flows by the throne of God.
2
On the margin of the river,Washing up its silver spray,We will walk and worship ever,All the happy golden day.
3
Ere we reach the shining river,Lay we ev'ry burden down;Grace our spirits will deliver,And provide a robe and crown.
4
Soon we'll reach the shining river,Soon our pilgrimage will cease,Soon our happy hearts will quiverWith the melody of peace.
