Shall we gather at the river Where bright angel feet have trod With its crystal tide forever Flowing from the Throne of God Yes, we'll gather at the river The beautiful, the beautiful river Gather with the saints at the river That flows from the Throne of God On the margin of the river Washing up its silver spray We shall walk and worship ever All the happy golden day Yes, we'll gather at the river The beautiful, the beautiful river Gather with the saints at the river That flows from the Throne of God And we reach the shining river Lay we every burden down Grace our spirits will deliver And provide a robe and crown Yes, we'll gather at the river The beautiful, the beautiful river Gather with the saints at the river That flows from the Throne of God Soon we'll reach the shining river Soon our pilgrimage will cease Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace Yes, we'll gather at the river The beautiful, the beautiful river Gather with the saints at the river That flows from the Throne of God
