Key of G · 4/4, "down, down-up" · Chords: G C D · Words and music: Robert Lowry, 1864 · Later verses: same chords, from the hymnal

G 2 1 3 C 3 2 1 D 1 3 2
G                      C
Shall we gather at the river,
G                            D
Where bright angel feet have trod,
G                        C
With its crystal tide forever
G              D         G
Flowing by the throne of God?

G
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
    D                        G
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
G                             C
Gather with the saints at the river
G                 D         G
That flows by the throne of God.
