When They Ring Those Golden Bells

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

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 immortal

When they ring those golden bells for you and me.



Chorus:

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 those golden bells for you and me.



Chorus:

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 those golden bells for you and me...
