Introduction

Words & Mu­sic: Da­ni­el A. De Mar­belle, 1887 (🔊 pdf nwc).

If you know where to get a good pho­to of De Mar­belle (head & shoul­ders, at least 200×300 pix­els),

For years I was so bu­sy I didn’t have time for God, and so rich I didn’t need Him. God had to slow me down and take my suc­cess away so that He could talk to me about the home be­yond the riv­er.

Daniel de Mar­belle

Lyrics

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 im­mor­tals, When they ring the gold­en bells for you and me.

Refrain

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 the gold­en bells for you and me.

We shall know no sin or sor­row, In that hav­en of to­mor­row, When our barque shall sail be­yond the sil­ver sea; We shall on­ly know the bless­ing Of our Fa­ther’s sweet ca­ress­ing, When they ring the gold­en bells for you and me.

Refrain

When our days shall know their num­ber, And in death we sweet­ly slum­ber, When the King com­mands the spir­it to be free; Nevermore with ang­uish la­den, We shall reach that love­ly Ed­en, When they ring the gold­en bells for you and me.
