(Traditional: Arranged by Emory Gordy / Patty Loveless)
|
There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever
|
And we only reach that shore by faith, you see
|
Yes I want to see my Jesus
|
Shake His hand and have Him great us
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
|
Don't you hear the bells a-ringin'
|
Can't you hear the angels singin'
|
It's a glory hallelujah jubilee
|
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
|
When our days have known their number
|
When in death we sweetly slumber
|
When the Kingdom mends the spirit to be free
|
There'll be no more stormy weather
|
We'll live peacefully together
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
|
Don't you hear the bells a-ringin'
|
Can't you hear the angels singin'
|
It's a glory hallelujah jubilee
|
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
|
