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   [ steel ]   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...
