There's a land beyond the river,
That we call the sweet forever.
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree.
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 now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
We shall know no sin nor sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow.
When our barque shall sail beyond that silver sea.
We shall only know the blessing,
Of our Father's sweet caressing,
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those 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.
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 now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
That we call the sweet forever.
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree.
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 now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
We shall know no sin nor sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow.
When our barque shall sail beyond that silver sea.
We shall only know the blessing,
Of our Father's sweet caressing,
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those 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.
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 now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
It's the glory hallelujah jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river.
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
