C
Shall we gather at the river,
G7                           G
where bright angel feet have trod
C
With its crystal tide forever,
        G      G7        C
flowing by the throne of God?

F                        C
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    G              G7        C
the beautiful, the beautiful river
F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river,
     G            G7        C
that flows by the throne of God.

C
On the margin of the river,
G7                    G
washing up its silver spray
C
We will talk and worship ever,
        G     G7     C
all the happy golden day.

F                        C
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    G              G7        C
the beautiful, the beautiful river
F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river,
     G            G7        C
that flows by the throne of God.

C
Ere we reach the shining river,
G7                  G
lay we every burden down
C
Grace our spirits will deliver,
       G      G7       C
and provide a robe and crown.

F                        C
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    G              G7        C
the beautiful, the beautiful river
F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river,
     G            G7        C
that flows by the throne of God.

C
At the smiling of the river,
G7                     G
mirror of the Savior's face
C
Saints, whom death will never sever,
           G        G7     C
lift their songs of saving grace.

F                        C
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    G              G7        C
the beautiful, the beautiful river
F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river,
     G            G7        C
that flows by the throne of God.

C
Soon we'll reach the silver river,
G7                       G
soon our pilgrimage will cease
C
Soon our happy hearts will quiver,
         G   G7    C
with the melody of peace.

F                        C
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    G              G7        C
the beautiful, the beautiful river
F                             C
Gather with the saints at the river,
     G            G7        C
that flows by the throne of God.
