Liedtext: | Shall we gather by the river, Where bright angel's feet have trod, With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God. Yes, we'll gather by the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river, Gather with the saints by 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 by the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river, Gather with the saints by the river That flows by the throne of God. |
