Verse 2: On the margin of the river, Washing up its silver spray, We will walk and worship ever, All the happy golden day. Verse 3: Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we ev’ry burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, And provide a robe and crown. Chorus: 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. Verse 4: Soon we’ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease, soon our happy hearts will quiver, with the melody of peace. Verse 5: At the smiling of the river, Mirror of the Savior’s face, Saints whom death will never sever Lift their songs of saving grace.
