Shall we gather at the river

Northern Baptist Association

Shall we gather at the river Northern Baptist Association

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

Chorus:
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

2 verse:
On the margin of the river
Washing up its silver spray
We will talk and worship ever
All the happy golden day

3 verse:
Ere we reach the shining river
Lay we every burden down
Grace our spirits will deliver
And provide a robe and crown

4 verse:
At the shining of the river
Mirror of the Saviours face
Saints, whom death will never sever
Lift their songs of saving grace

5 verse:
Soon we'll reach the silver river
Soon our pilgrimage will cease
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace
