When They Ring The Golden Bells
There's a land beyond the riverThat they call the sweet foreverAnd we only reach that shore by faith's decreeOne by one we'll gain the portalsThere to dwell with the immortalsWhen they ring the golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells now ringingDon't you hear the angels singing'Tis the glory hallelujah JubileeIn that far off sweet forever,Just beyond the shining riverWhen they ring the golden bells for you and me
We shall know no sin or sorrowIn that heaven of tomorrowWhen our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery seaWe shall only know the blessingOf our Father's sweet caressingWhen they ring the golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells now ringingDon't you hear the angels singing'Tis the glory hallelujah JubileeIn that far off sweet foreverJust beyond the shining riverWhen they ring the golden bells for you and me
When our days shall know their numberWhen in death we sweetly slumberWhen the King commands the spirit to be freeNevermore with anguish ladenWe shall reach that lovely EdenWhen they ring the golden bells for you and meWhen they ring the golden bells for you and me
