Text: | Shall We Gather at the River? |
Author: | Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 |
Tune: | BEAUTIFUL RIVER |
Composer: | Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 |
1 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,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy, golden day. [Refrain]
3 Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]
4 Soon we'll gather at the river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace. [Refrain]
