Shall we gather at the river

Flowing from the throne of God

On the margin of the river

All the happy golden day

[Verse 3]
A
Ere we reach the shining river

E
Lay we every burden down

A
Praise our spirits will deliver

       E                 A
And provide our robe and crown
[Chorus]
D                        A
Yes, we'll gather at the river

    E7                        A
The beautiful, the beautiful, river

D                             A
Gather with the saints at the river

     E                        A
That flows from the throne of God
[Verse 4]
A
Soon we'll reach the shining river

E
Soon our pilgrimage will cease

A
Soon our happy hearts will quiver

         E         A
With the melody of peace
[Chorus]
D                        A
Yes, we'll gather at the river

The beautiful, the beautiful, river

D                             A
Gather with the saints at the river

     E                        A
That flows from the throne of God
