Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angels he has brought,
With it's crystal tides forever
Flowing by the throne of god
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
Ere we reach the shining river
Lay we every burden down,
Praise our spirits will deliver
And provide our robe and crown.
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
Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
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
