Indian Methodist Hymn-book Part 5

1 Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel-feet have trod; With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of G.o.d.

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 G.o.d.

2 Soon we'll reach the silver river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace.

20 HERE WE SUFFER GRIEF AND PAIN.
