Shall We Gather at the River
Author: Robert S. Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 777 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise 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 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] Used With Tune: HANSON PLACE

nous célébrons tes louanges!
Éternel, nous t'exaltons,
de concert avec les anges,
et prosternés devant toi,
nous t'adorons: louange à toi!
2 L'illustre choeur des témoins,
des disciples, des prophètes;
célèbre le Dieu sauveur
dont ils sont les interprètes;
et ton Église en tous lieux
bénit ton nom glorieux.
3 Puisse ton règne de paix
s'étendre sur tout le monde!
Dès maintenant, à jamais,
que sur la terre et sur l'onde,
tous genoux soient abattus
au nom du Seigneur Jésus.
4 Gloire soit au Saint-Esprit!
Gloire soit à Dieu le vie!
Gloire soit à Jésus-Christ,
notre sauveur, notre ami!
Son immense charité
dure à perpétuité.
English:
1 Holy God, we praise your name;
God of all, we bow before you.
All on earth your sceptre claim;
all in heaven above adore you;
Infinite your vast domain,
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord."
3 Lo, the apostolic train
joins your sacred Name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn till set of sun,
through the Church the song goes on.

the bleeding soul to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.

your welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with your beloved name. Used With Tune: RICHMOND

but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
and fit us for heaven, to live with you there.
