There's a land beyond the river
that we call the sweet forever,
and we only reach that shore
by face degree.
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 there ring the golden bells
for you and me.
We shall know no sin or sorrow
in that haven of tomorrow
When our bark shall sail
beyond the silver sea.
We shall only know the blessing
of our father's sweet caressing,
when there ring the golden bells
for you and me.
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
Don't you hear the angels singing
Here's the glory hallelujah Jubilee
In that far off sweet forever,
just beyond the shining river,
when they ring the golden Best
for you and me.
