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
