Shall we gather at the river,
where bright angel feet have trod,
with its crystal tide 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.

On the margin of the river,
washing up its silver spray,
we will walk and worship ever,
all the happy golden day.
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. Amen
