Text: | Shall we gather at the river |
Tune: | GATHER AT THE RIVER |
Composer: | Robert Lowry, by per |
1 Shall we gather at the river,
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,
Dashing 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 that silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage shall cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace. [Chorus]
