BEAUTIFUL RIVER, by ROBERT LOWRY Poet's Biography First Line: Shall we gather at the river Last Line: With the melody of peace. Subject(s): Rivers | ||||||||
Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel-feet have trod, With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God? Chorus: 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. 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, Mirror of the Saviour's face, Saints, whom death will never sever, Lift their songs of saving grace. Soon we'll reach the silver river; Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL TO A WOMAN GLANCING UP FROM THE RIVER by LARRY LEVIS TWO-RIVER LEDGER by KHALED MATTAWA HE FINDS THE MANSION by JAMES MCMICHAEL THE RIVERS by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA VERMILION FLYCATCHER, SAN PEDRO RIVER, ARIZONA by MARGARET ATWOOD THE PORCH OVER THE RIVER by WENDELL BERRY THE RIVER BRIDGED AND FORGOT by WENDELL BERRY THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
