Shall we gather at the river

• • Shall we gather at the river, 
  • where bright angel-feet have trod, 
  • with its crystal tide for ever 
  • flowing by 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 by the throne of God. 
  • 
    
  • On the margin of the river, 
  • washing up its silver spray, 
  • we will walk and worship ever, 
  • all the happy, golden day. 
  • 
    
  • Ere we reach the shining river, 
  • lay we ev'ry burden down; 
  • grace our spirits will deliver, 
  • and provide a robe and crown. 
  • 
    
  • At the shining of the river, 
  • mirror of the Saviour's face, 
  • saints, whom death will never sever 
  • raise their songs of saving grace. 
  • 
    
  • Soon we'll reach the silver river; 
  • soon our pilgrimage will cease; 
  • soon our happy hearts will quiver 
  • with the melody of peace
