Shall we gather at the ri - ver,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide for ? ev - er
Flowing by the throne of God?
Yes, we?ll gather at the ri - ver,
The beautiful, the beautiful ri - ver,
Gather with the saints at the ri - ver
That flows by the throne of God.

On the bosom of the ri - ver,
Where the Saviour King we own,
We shall meet, and sorrow ne - ver
?Neath the glory of the throne (Chorus)
Verse 3
Ere we reach the shining ri - ver,
Lay we ev?ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deli - verer,
And provide a robe and crown. (Chorus)
Verse 4
Soon we'll reach the shining ri - ver,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will qui - ver
With the melody of peace (Chorus)
