There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever
|
And we only reach that shore by fate's decree
|
One by one we'll gain the portals there to dwell with the immortals
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
Don't you hear the bells now ringing can't you hear the angels singing
|
This glory hallelujah jubilee
|
In that far off sweet forever just beyond the shining river
|
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
|
[ steel ]
|
When our days shall know the number when in death we'll sweetly slumber
|
When the king commands the spirit to be free
|
Never more with anguish laden we shall reach that lovely Eden
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
Don't you hear the bells now ringing...
|
|
It is NOT fate's decree. It is FAITH'S decree.
