When They Ring The Golden Bell (1956) - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

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 are ringing

Don’t you hear?

The angels singing

'Tis the glory, Hallelujah

Yes, Jubilee, oh yes

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 are ringing

Don’t you hear?

The angels singing

'Tis the glory, Hallelujah

Oh, Jubilee, oh yes

In that far off sweet forever

Just beyond the shining river

When they ring the golden bells for you and me

For you and me
