| Text: | Shall We Gather at the River? |
| Author: | R. L. |
| Tune: | [Shall we gather at the river] |
| Composer: | Robert Lowry |
1 Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing from 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 from the throne of God.
2 On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray;
We shall walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day. [Chorus]
3 Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev'ry burden down,
Grace our spirits will deliver
And provide a robe and crown. [Chorus]
4 Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver,
With the melody of peace. [Chorus]
