Shall We Gather At The River

Robert Lowry  

Verse

D
Shall we gather at the river,

A7
Where bright angel feet have trod,

D
With its crystal tide forever 

        A                D
Flowing by the throne of God?


Chorus

G                        D
Yes, we'll gather at the river,

    A7                       D
The beautiful, the beautiful river,

G                             D
Gather with the saints at the river

     A                      D
That flows by the throne of God.


On the bosom of the river,
Where the Savior-King we own,
We shall meet and sorrow never
'Neath the glory of the throne


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


Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
