Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain
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 .
2.
On the margin of the river,
Guided by our Shepherd King
We will walk and worship ever,
His dear footsteps following.
3.
There beside the tranquil river
Mirror of the Saviours face
Happy hearts, no more to sew
Sing of glory and of grace
4.
But before we gain the river
Lay we every burden down;
Jesus, here from sin deliver,
Those whom there thy grace will crown
5.
Soon we’ll reach the crystal river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Amen
