[Verse 1]
Shall we gather by the river
Where bright angel's feet have trod
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Soon we'll reach the shining river
Soon our pilgrimage will cease
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace
[Chorus]
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
That flows by the throne of God
