By Natalie Merchant 3/4 timing [Intro] A
           A
There's a land beyond the river

          D                 A
That they call the sweet forever

                                            E
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree

                              A
One by one we'll gain the portals

         D                 A
There to dwell with the immortals

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

           D
Don't you hear the bells now ringing

           A
Don't you hear the angels singing

                         E
'Tis the glory halelujah jubilee

        A
In that far off sweet forever,

        D                 A
Just beyond the shining river

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

          A
We shall know no sin or sorrow

          D         A
In that heaven of tomorrow

                                               E
When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea

                         A
We shall only know the blessing

         D               A
Of our Father's sweet caressing

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

           D
Don't you hear the bells now ringing

           A
Don't you hear the angels singing

                                E
'Tis the glory halelujah to Jubilee

        A
In that far off sweet forever,

        D               A
Just beyond the shining river

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

          A
When our days shall know their number

          D                A
When in death we sweetly slumber

                                          E
When the King commands the spirit to be free

                        A
Nevermore with anguish laden

          D                 A
We shall reach that lovely Eden

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me

           A        D      A         E      A
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
