Shall We Gather At The River Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Shall we gather at the river
Singing victory songs
Halleluja to the Most High God
Who comes on a cloud

Shall we gather at the river
The long tortuous journey's end
Singing the song of Moses
Seeing the hand of God against our enemies
As we behold in awe His Glory!

Shall we gather at the river
Our lamps needed no more
With the Star of David shining bright
Illuminating the whole earth with His Glory
Babylon the great is fallen!

Shall we gather at the river
Never to remember the world drunken with sin
Having been redeemed byHis precious blood
Called out from the filth of Babylon
"Alleluja! Salvation and glory and power belong to the Lord our God! "
