There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by fate you see
Yes, I want to see my Jesus
Shake his hand and hear him greet us
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
Don't you hear the bells a 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 those golden bells for you and me.
--- Instrumental ---
When our days have known the number
When in death we'll sweetly slumber
When the king commands 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 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 those golden bells for you and me...
