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
