Shall we gather at the river Where bright angels feet have trod With its crystal tide forever Flowing from the throne of God Oh, 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 Oh, 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 Ere we reach the shining river Lay we every burden down Grace our spirits will deliver And provide a robe and crown Oh, 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 Then our pilgrimage will cease Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace Oh, 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
