There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever

And we only reach that shore by faith, you see

Yes I want to see my Jesus

Shake His hand and have Him great us

When they ring those golden bells for you and me



Don't you hear the bells a-ringin'

Can't you hear the angels singin'

It's a glory hallelujah jubilee

In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river

When they ring those golden bells for you and me



When our days have known their number

When in death we sweetly slumber

When the Kingdom mends 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-ringin'

Can't you hear the angels singin'

It's a glory hallelujah jubilee

In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river

When they ring those golden bells for you and me

When they ring those golden bells for you and me
