Shall we gather at the river where bright angel feet have trod
If it's crystal tide flowing by the throne of God
On the margin of the river washing up its silver spray
We will talk and worship ever all the happy, golden day
Yes, we'll gather at the river
Gather at the river
We will gather at the river by the throne of God
E'er we reach the shining river, we'll lay every burden down
Grace our spirits will deliver and provide a robe and crown
At the smiling of the river mirror of the Savior's face
Say to death we'll never sever with their songs of saving grace
Yes, we'll gather at the river
Gather at the river
We will gather at the river by the throne of God
Yes, we'll gather at the river
Gather at the river
We will gather at the river by the throne of God
Soon we'll reach the silver river, soon our pilgrimage will cease
Soon our happy songs will quiver with the melody of peace
