SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER

Eb-major

1:

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.

2:

On the bosom of the river,

Where the Saviour-King we own,

We shall meet, and sorrow never,

'Neath the glory of the throne.

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 quiver

With the melody of peace.
