Flowing by the throne of God

The beautiful the beautiful river
C                             G
Gather with the saints at the river
     D7                     G
That flows by the throne of God

On the margin of the river

Washing up its silver spray

We will talk and worship ever

All the happy golden day

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God

Verse 4

Soon we'll reach the shining river
D7
Soon our pilgrimage will cease
G
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
         D7        G
With the melody of peace
