432. Shall We Gather at the River

D
Shall we gather at the river,

A7
Where bright angel feet have trod,

D
With its crystal tide forever

        A      A7        D
Flowing by the throne of God?

G                        D
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

A7                           D
The beautiful, the beautiful river;

G                             D
Gather with the saints at the river

     A            A7        D
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.
