When They Ring Those Golden Bells

Loretta Lynn · Chronicles [2006]

There's a land beyond the river

That we call the sweet forever

And we only reach that shore by fate you see

Yes, I want to see my Jesus

Shake his hand and hear him greet us

When they ring those golden bells for you and me.



Don't you hear the bells a ringing

Can't you hear the angels singing

This glory hallelujah jubilee

In that far off sweet forever just beyond the shining river

When they ring those golden bells for you and me.



--- Instrumental ---



When our days have known the number

When in death we'll sweetly slumber

When the king commands the spirit to be free

There'll be no more stormy weather

We'll live peacefully together

When they ring those golden bells for you and me.



Don't you hear the bells a ringing

Can't you hear the angels singing

This glory hallelujah jubilee

In that far off sweet forever just beyond the shining river

When they ring those golden bells for you and me...
