A Intro: 4/4 A 1. Shall we gather at the river 2. On the margin of the river, 3. Ere we reach the shining river, 4. Soon we’ll reach the shining river, E E7 Where bright angel feet have trod, Washing up its silver spray, Lay we every burden down; Soon our pilgrimage will cease; A F#m With its crystal tide forever We will walk and worship ever, Grace our spirits will deliver, Soon our happy hearts will quiver E E7 A A7 Flowing by the throne of God? All the happy golden day. And provide a robe and crown. With the melo - dy of peace. D Bm A F#m Yes, we’ll gather at the river, G E7 A A7 The beautiful, the beautiful river; D Bm A F#m Gather with the saints at the river E E7 A That flows by the throne of God.
