There's a land beyond the river

That they call the sweet forever

And we only reach that shore by faith's decree

When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea

We shall only know the blessing

Of our Father's sweet caressing

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

When they ring the golden bells for you and me
