432. Shall We Gather at the River

Db
Shall we gather at the river,

Ab7
Where bright angel feet have trod,

Db
With its crystal tide forever

        Ab     Ab7       Db
Flowing by the throne of God?

Gb                       Db
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

Ab7                          Db
The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gb                            Db
Gather with the saints at the river

     Ab           Ab7       Db
That flows by the throne of God.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
all the happy golden day.

[Verse 3]
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

[Verse 4]
Soon we’ll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
