There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet forever
And we only reach
That shore by fate you see
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 a-ringing?
Can't you hear the angels singing
This 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 have known the number
When in death we'll 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 a-ringing?
Can't you hear the angels singing
This glory hallelujah jubilee?
In that far off sweet forever
Just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells
For you and me
