Shall We Gather at the River / the Water Is Wide

Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod
With it's crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God
When we reach the shining river
Lay we every burden down
Grace our spirits will deliver
And provide a robe and crown
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
Our Lord shines clearly against the storm
Turns darkest night to brightest day
Rough waters fade to perfect calm
A blazing lamp, He'll light our way
Christ is the center of all we see
He is the jewel that guides us true
No matter what, Lord, You'll stay with me
No matter what, I'll stay with you
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
Yes well gather at the river
That flows by the throne of God
