Tennessee Ernie Ford
When They Ring The Golden 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
Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
'Tis the glory hallelujah jubilee (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 death we sweetly slumber
When the King commands the spirit to be free
Nevermore with anguish laden
We shall reach that lovely Eden
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 the glory hallelujah jubilee (Jubilee)
In that far-off sweet forever
Just beyond the shining river
When they ring the golden (When they ring the golden, when they ring the golden) bells for you and me
