that we call the sweet forever
One by one we'll gain the portal
There to dwell with thee, mortal
When they ring the golden bells
Don't you hear the bells now ringing
Don't you hear the angels singing
in that haven of tomorrow
When our barks shall sail
We shall only know the blessing
of our Father's sweet caressing
When they ring the golden bells
Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
Tis the glory hallelujah jubilee
Head night for all, sweet forever,
just beyond the shining river,
when they ring the golden bells
When our days shall know their number,
and in death we sweetly slumber,
and the king commands the
Evermore in anguish laden,
we shall reach that happy aim
when they ring the golden bell
Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
There's a glory, hallelujah, jubilee
In that far off, sweet forever
Just beyond the shining moon
When they ring the golden bells
When they ring the golden bells
