Verse 1
-7< 7< 7 -6 7 -6 7 -7<
There's a land be-yond the riv-er,
7 -5< -5 -5 -5< 5 -3< -5
that we call the sweet for-ev-er,
-5< -6 7 -6< 7 -7< -7< -7 8 -7< -6
And we on-ly reach that shore by faith's decree;
-6 7 7< 7 -7< 7 -6 -5<
One by one we'll gain the portals,
-5< -5 5 -5 -5< 5 -3< -5<
There to dwell with the im-mor-tals,
-5< -6 7 -7< -9< -8< -7< 7 -6 7 -5<
When they ring the gold-en bells for you and me.
Chorus
-7< -7< -8< 7< -9< -8< 7< -8<
Don't you hear the bells now ring-ing?
-9< -8< -7< -8< -7< 7 7 -7<
Don't you hear the an-gels sing-ing?
-7< -7< -9< -9 -8< -7< 7< 7 -6 -5< -7<
'Tis the glo-ry hal-le - lul-jah ju-bi -lee, (ju-bi -lee,)
-7< 7< 7 -6< 7 -6 7 -7<
In that far-off sweet for-ev-er,
7 -5< 5 -5 -5< 5 -3< -5<
Just be-yond the shin-ing riv-er,
-5< -6 7 -7< -9< -8< -7< 7 -6 7 -5<
When they ring the gold-en bells for you and me.
Verse 2
We shall know no sin nor sor-row,
In that ha-ven of to-mor-row,
When our barque shall sail beyond the sil-ver sea;
We shall on-ly know the blessing
Of our Fa-ther's sweet ca-ress-ing,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.
Verse 3
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 love-ly ai-den,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.
