Shall we gather at the river, 
A7                           A
where bright angel feet have trod 
D
With its crystal tide forever, 
        A      A7        D
flowing by the throne of God? 

G                        D

D                  
On the margin of the river, 
A7                    A
washing up its silver spray 
D
We will talk and worship ever, 
        A     A7     D
all the happy golden day.

Ere we reach the shining river, 
A7                  A
lay we every burden down 
D
Grace our spirits will deliver, 
       A      A7       D
and provide a robe and crown.

D
At the smiling of the river, 
A7                     A
mirror of the Savior's face 
D
Saints, whom death will never sever, 
           A        A7     D
lift their songs of saving grace.

with the melody of peace.
