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 they 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,
Whey 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 aden,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.
