Author: Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 Hymnal: StJ2005 #1046 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain 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 On the margin of the river,
washing up its silver spray,
we will walk and worship ever,
all the happy golden day. [Refrain]
3 Ere we reach the shining river,
lay we ev'ery burden down.
Grace our spirits will deliver,
and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]
4 Soon we'll reach the shining river,
soon our pilgrimage will cease,
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings; Celebration and Praise; Courage and Hope; Gratitude and Thanks; Nature; Special Occasions; Unity and Diversity Languages: English Tune Title: HANSON PLACE
