 Shall we gather at the river,
 Where bright angel feet have trod;
 With its crystal tide forever
 Flowing by the throne of God?

[C1]
   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.

[V2]
 On the margin of the river,
 Washing up its silver spray,
 We will walk and worship ever,
 All the happy golden day.

[V3]
 Ere we reach the shining river,
 Lay we ev'ry burden down;
 Grace our spirits will deliver,
 And provide a robe and crown.

[V4]
 Soon we'll reach the shining river,
 Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
 Soon our happy hearts will quiver
 With the melody of peace.</lyrics>
