Hymn 432
Shall We Gather at the River
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?
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Chorus
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.
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.
Washing up its silver spray
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Chorus
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.
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
Verse 3
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
Chorus
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.
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
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.
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Chorus
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.
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
