432. Shall We Gather at the River

C
Shall we gather at the river,

G7
Where bright angel feet have trod,

C
With its crystal tide forever

        G      G7        C
Flowing by the throne of God?

F                        C
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

G7                           C
The beautiful, the beautiful river;

F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river

     G            G7        C
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.
