1 When we gather at the river
On that morning bright and fair,
And with joy behold the beauty
Of that country over there,
We shall find the ones we cherished
Ere they went from earth away;
With them we shall dwell forever
Where no shadows mar the day.
Refrain:
On that morning bright and fair,
We shall gather over there,
In the glad, eternal land,
Just beyond the golden strand—
On that morning bright and fair.
2 When the saved ones reach those mansions
Which, prepared by God’s own hand,
Stand amid the matchless splendor
Of the happy Beulah land,
All their sorrow will be ended,
Pain can never enter there—
Oh! what bliss to know ’tis coming—
On that morning bright and fair! [Refrain]
3 We shall see our Savior standing
On that sunny, changeless shore,
Waiting to receive His chosen
Where sad partings come no more;
May each life be fraught with duty
Thro’ this sinful world of care,
Till we reach our home of glory
On that morning bright and fair! [Refrain]
