Shall We Gather At The River Tennessee Ernie Ford

1. Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod
With its crystal tide forever
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
Washing up its silver spray
We will walk and worship ever
All the happy golden day
(Refrain)

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

4. Soon we'll reach the shining river
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace
(Refrain)
