He would honour and obey,

Love and watch the lowly mother In whose gentle arms He lay : Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.

With the oxen standing by,

We shall see Him; (f) but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around. Amen.

I mfSHALL we gather at the river,

Where bright angel-feet have trod,
With its crystal tide for ever
Flowing by the throne of God?
cres 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.

amf On the margin of the river,

Washing up its silver spray, We will walk and worship ever, All the happy golden day. Yes, we'll gather, &c.

3

Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;

Grace our spirits will deliver,

And provide a robe and crown.
Yes, we'll gather, &c.

4 mf At the shining of the river,
Mirror of the Saviour's face,
Saints whom death will never sever
Raise their songs of saving grace.
Yes, we'll gather, &c.

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

Yes, we'll gather, &c. Amen.
