when they ring the bells

There’s a land beyond the river, That we 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 thy
ring the golden bells for you and me.

CHORUS
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 the haven of tomorrow.
When our barque shall sail beyond the silver sea;
We shall only know the blessing Of our Father’s sweet caressing, 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 aiden, When they ring the golden bells for you and me.
