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 margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will 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] Topics: Comfort,Encouragement, Hope; Eternal Life, Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: HANSON PLACE
