141 Shall We Gather at the River

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.

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

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

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