Shall We Gather at the River

Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod,

with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God?

​

(Chorus)

Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

the beautiful, the beautiful river,

gather with the saints at the river

that flows by the throne of God.

​

On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray,

we will walk and worship ever, all the happy golden day.

​

(Chorus)

​

Ere we reach the shining river, lay we ev’ry burden down.

Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and a crown.

​

(Chorus)

​

Soon we’ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease,

soon our happy hearts will quiver, with the melody of peace.

​

(Chorus)
