When They Ring The Golden Bells Lyrics - Ophelia - Natalie Merchant

There's a land beyond the river 

That they 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 

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 that heaven of tomorrow 

When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery 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 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
