The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#891

891. Shall we gather at the river

1 Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide for ever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain:
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 On the margin of the river
Dashing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever
All the happy, golden day.

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

4 At the shining of the river,
Mirror of the Saviour’s face,
Saints whom death will never sever
Raise their song of saving grace.
