Palmetto - Anonymous 4

Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod?

With it’s crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God.

On the borders of the river washing up it’s silver spray,

We will walk and worship ever, O the happy golden Day!

Ere we reach the shining river lay we every burden down,

Grace our spirits will deliver and provide a robe and crown.

At the smiling of the river mirrored on the Saviors face,

Saints whom death will never sever lift the songs of saving grace

On the bosom of the river where the Savior King we own.

We shall meet and sorrow never neath the glory of the throne.

Soon we’ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease,

Soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace
