Text: | Shall We Gather at the River |
Author: | Robert S. Lowry |
Tune: | HANSON PLACE |
Composer: | Robert S. Lowry |
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 Ere we reach the shining river,
lay we every burden down;
grace our spirits will deliver,
and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]
3 Soon we'll reach the shining river,
soon our pilgrimage will cease,
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain]
