Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #701 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Refrain First Line: Yes, we'll gather at the river Lyrics: 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 reach the shining river,
soon our pilgrimage will cease;
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Topics: God's World Consummation; God's World Consummation; Consummation; Eternal Life; Funerals and Memorial Services Scripture: Revelation 22:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HANSON PLACE
