But Dr. Lowry's most famous hymn is "Shall we gather at the river?" He wrote the words when a pastor in Brooklyn, on a hot July day in 1864. A very severe epidemic was raging in Brooklyn, and hundreds were passing over the river of death. Dr. Lowry was thinking of the sad scenes all around him when the question arose in his mind, "Shall we meet again? We are parting at the river of death; shall we meet at the river of life?

Standing at the bridge that was partially destroyed in "Worlds Apart," Weaver determines the best course of action is to try to cross. The survivors decide that Ben will swim across the river to scout the other side, where he sees a signal tower and senses skitter signals coming from it. He returns to report on it, concealing that he could hear the tower's signals.

After meeting on the other side of the bridge, grief-stricken Hal and Weaver make plans to search for Tom's body. Pope attempts to apologize to Hal, noting Tom's sacrifice. Hal strikes him, but before a fight can break out, Ben hears someone approaching. A beaten and slightly burnt Tom struggles up from the river, where he is warmly greeted by the survivors.

INTRO.: A hymn that describes our hope of being at and seeing that pure river of water of life in the heavenly New Jerusalem is "Shall We Gather At The River?" (#414 in Sacred Selections For The Church). The text was written and the tune (Hanson Place) was composed both by Robert Lowry (1826-1899). In 1864 Lowry was minister at the Hanson Place Baptist Church in Brooklyn. That summer there was an epidemic sweeping New York City, and people were dying all over. When Lowry was not busy visiting those in his congregation who were sick, he was burying others who had died. This is why the 38-year old preacher was near exhaustion when he lay down on the couch of his Brooklyn home one hot day in July. While thinking about all the people who were dying, he began to think of the great reunion at the river of life. So he did not stay on his couch long, but soon arose and was busy writing. He left his own account of this event:

The song was first published in the 1865 Sunday School hymnbook Happy Voices edited by Lowry and William Howard Doane for Biglow and Main. Lowry went on to produce several other famous hymns, such as "Christ Arose" or "Low in the grave He lay" in 1874. In 1954, even though "Shall We Gather At The River" was not a southern camp meeting song from American folk tradition, Aaron Copland included it in his "Old American Songs" for solo voice, Second Set. It was sung at the funeral of American Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas in 1975, and a portion of it was used in the 1985 Academy Award winning film, Trip to Bountiful. I recall hearing James P. Miller, who was preaching in the gospel meeting at my home congregation when I obeyed the gospel, say that this song was often sung back in the days before indoor baptistries were common whenever people would be taken "down to the river" to be baptized.

I. Stanza 1 tells us where we shall gather at the river

"Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod,

With its crystal tide for ever Flowing by the throne of God?"

 A. This river is located where the angels have trod, and the Bible indicates that the angels dwell in heaven: Matt. 22.30, Mk. 12.25

 B. It is located in a place where it will flow forever; while the term "forever" can be used in some contexts to mean age lasting or as long as the earth stands, on other occasions it is clearly used to refer to an eternal existence: Jn. 6.51, Ro. 1.25

 C. And it is located by the throne of God, which is clearly in heaven: Heb. 8.1, Rev. 4.1-2. Ellis J. Crum in Sacred Selections made one of his famous alterations here, changing "by the throne of God" to "from the throne of God" (although NOT in the chorus), apparently because he thought the latter conforms more with the exact language of the Bible. However, I do not see a big difference here, at least enough to make such a change necessary. If we say that the Ohio River flows FROM Pittsburgh, PA, where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers converge, then it certainly flows BY portions of Pittsburgh, given that the word "by" can mean "near."

I met him three times officially, on the sets of "The Green Berets" and "Chisum," and at his home in Newport Beach. And one other time. "Duke is in town to visit a sick friend at the hospital," his old friend the Warner Bros. press agent Frank Casey told me one day in 1976, "and he wanted me to invite over all the movie critics to have a drink. He's got the Presidential Suite at the Conrad Hilton." In an age when movie stars employ guards with black belts to keep the press away, how does that sound? We all gathered at the Hilton--Siskel, David Elliott of the Chicago Daily News, Mary Knoblauch of Chicago's American, and me.

Shall we gather at the river

Where bright angel feet have trod

With its crystal tide forever

Flowing 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

Therefore in the text's given context, it seems most likely that the phrase 'from beyond the rivers of Cush' is primarily a reference to the scope of the drawing-together of the people of Judah. This argument is strengthened by the following clause, 'the daughter of my dispersed ones', and so seems the most natural conclusion to draw.

Ah, land of whirring wings that is beyond the rivers of Cush, which sends ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters! Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide...

At that time tribute will be brought to the Lord of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide, to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the Lord of hosts. 006ab0faaa
