3 Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver And provide a robe and crown. 4 At the smiling of the river, Mirror of the Saviour's face, Saints whom death will never sever, Lift their songs of saving grace. 5 Soon we'll reach the shining river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace. Nuhguhmoowin 31. "_Shall we gather at the river._" Ke guh e zhah min, nuh see beeng, Ne buh we wod, an ge nug; Wuh yah se je wung, kah ge nig, Ta ba nin ga, oo see beem. Cho.--Aa, ke guh e zhah min see bee, Qua nah je wung qua nah je wung see bee.

Hymn 32. "_There's a land that is fairer than day._" There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar, For the father waits over the way, To prepare us a dwelling place there. Chorus: In the sweet bye and bye, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet bye and bye, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. 2 We shall sing on that beautiful shore, The melodious songs of the blest, And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. 3 To our bountiful Father above, We will offer our tribute of praise, For the glorious gift of his love, And the blessings that hallow our days. 4 We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign, In the land where the saved never die; We shall rest free from sorrow and pain, Safe at home in the sweet bye and bye.
