Shall we gather at the river

[@annakenreality]

This is my dad’s favourite hymn, and now he’s dead we’re going to sing it on his funeral next week Thursday. I can’t wait to meet him at this river.

[@johnmanthey5918]

One day you'll cross the river Jordan and join him. Christ is Lord

[@johnsonolorede9179]

This song makes me thirst for heaven. Lord, I pray that you will count me worthy to be granted eternal rest with you in your kingdom in Jesus' name.

[@ryanpaul4419]

Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

[@matthewjoyner1595]

My grandma sang this hymn yesterday when they took her off the ventilator. She was surrounded by her 3 sons, her 2 grandchildren, and her husband. We all joined in even though I hadn’t heard it in years. I love you, grandma, and I look forward to meeting you at the river

[@johnmanthey5918]

Blessed be the words that she spoke and the steps that she took. Christ is Lord, your grandmother is Home.

[@Billy_Lenz]

Well that sounds just lovely

[@billiesanchez-torres463]

My Dad loved this hymn, he wanted it played at his funeral when he found he was termanily ill with pancreatic cancer. he was a very fond countryman, fisherman and horseman and we granted him his wish and all sung our hearts out. RIP Dad, Miss you everyday, love you forever xxx

[@philiptilden2318]

Same here. My dad used to sing this to himself at home, so we had it played in the church as we carried his coffin.

[@nickxcore74]

So sorry for your loss. I lost my Mum to pancreatic cancer on 29th October last year, it’s a truly evil disease. I miss her dearly 😢

It took me almost 18 years to find out this song my Grandfather sang at a choir. Praise the lord 🙏🏻

[@joeydabroey1010]

I’m not a perfect Christian by any means. I fail our Lord everyday. I’m worse than Judas, I sell Him when I hide my Bible when people walk into the room in fear of persecution, I doubt and worry constantly, which is the opposite of trust. I just feel so unworthy. But His grace. His grace. Oh His grace. I can rest in Christ, knowing that He has forgiven me. I don’t deserve it. He’s so amazing. He’s so awesome. Lord, thank You for forgiving me and the person reading this comment. Lord, thank You for Your grace completely flowing over all our iniquities and weaknesses. Lord, thank You for letting us rest in You constantly. We don’t deserve it. You’re so amazing. In Jesus mighty name we pray, amen. 🙏

[@keithhoffpauir3506]

Thank You. Dear. God. And Dear Jesus And Dear Holy Spirit. For Every Thing You Do For Us Amen

[@ladyluck8314]

I miss my parents and my siblings already passed. I've always said when my time comes to go the other side I would like this hymn sang because I firmly believe I will meet with them again. I've told them to meet me, they will be there to meet me at the river that flows by the thrown of God.

[@christinapsalmist4267]

Played this at friends mother's funeral. My dad died too. Look forward to seeing my mother n father and loved ones at the river....

[@lucyngechu4472]

To meet those who chose heaven, one has to believe in Christ death, salvation is by grace alone in Christ alone.

[@nyaboldeng6345]

Then you need to surrender your life to Jesus before it's too late. Don't wait until later, because later may be too late.

[@srbaruchi]

Fellow atheist here who loves the melody and tender longing of this hymn -- despite knowing there is just this life. If your father passed in 2011, that is also when mine did so.
