Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angels feet have trod
With it's crystal tides forever
Flowing by the throne of God.
Yes, we'll gather at that river
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at that river
That flows by the throne of God.
When we reach that shining river
We'll lay every burden down
Then grace our spirits will deliver
And will receive our robe and crown.
Yes, we'll gather at that river
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at that river
That flows by the throne of God.
Soon we'll reach that silver river
Soon our pilgrimage will cease
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Yes, we'll gather at that river
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at that river
That flows by the throne of God.
Oh yes, we'll gather at that river
That flows by the throne of God
That flows by the throne of God
