There's a land beyond the river
|
That they call the sweet forever
|
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
|
One by one we'll gain the portals
|
There to dwell with the immortals
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
|
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
|
Don't you hear the angels singing
|
'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee
|
In that far off sweet forever,
|
Just beyond the shining river
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
|
We shall know no sin or sorrow
|
In that heaven of tomorrow
|
When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea
|
We shall only know the blessing
|
Of our Father's sweet caressing
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
|
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
|
Don't you hear the angels singing
|
'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee
|
In that far off sweet forever
|
Just beyond the shining river
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
|
When our days shall know their number
|
When in death we sweetly slumber
|
When the King commands the spirit to be free
|
Nevermore with anguish laden
|
We shall reach that lovely Eden
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
