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 are ringing Don't you hear? The angels singing 'Tis the glory, Hallelujah Yes, Jubilee, oh yes 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 are ringing Don't you hear? The angels singing 'Tis the glory, Hallelujah Oh, Jubilee, oh yes In that far off sweet forever Just beyond the shining river When they ring the golden bells for you and me For you and me
