There's a land beyond the river

That we call the sweet forever

And we only reach at shore by fate's decree

One by one we'll gain the portals

There to dwell with the immortals

When they ring those golden bells for you and me

Don't you hear the bells now 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 the golden bells for you and me

When our days shall know the number

When in death we'll sweetly slumber

When the king commands the spirit to be free

Never more with anguish laden

We shall reach at lovely aden

When they ring those golden bells for you and me

Don't you hear the bells now 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 the golden bells for you and me
