Alfred G. Karnes - When They Ring The Golden Bells lyrics

There's a land beyond the river, that we call the sweet forever And we'll 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 Don't you hear the bells now ringing? Don't you hear the angels singing? 'Tis a 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 nor sorrow in that Heaven of tomorrow When our bark shall sail beyond the silv'ry sea We shall only know the blessing of our Father's sweet caressing When they ring the golden bells for you and me Don't you hear the bells now ringing? Don't you hear the angels singing? 'Tis a 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 their number When in d**h we sweetly slumber When the King commands the spirit to be free Never more with anguish laden, we shall greet that lovely Eden When they ring the golden bells for you and me
