430. Shall We Gather at the River? 我們聚集生命河邊
And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb (Rev 22:1). When we finally lay every burden down and reach the end of our life journey on earth, the promised heavenly kingdom awaits us. God has prepared a robe and a crown for us. There we shall sing praises and worship our almighty God forever. The relax and joyous melody definitely brings us closer to our Lord Jesus, hopping and swinging along the clear crystal water of life.
Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God?
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.
On the margin of the river, Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever, All the happy golden day.
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.
Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we ev’ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver, And provide a robe and crown.
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.
Soon we’ll reach the shining river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace.
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.
