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 pilgrimage 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
