There's a land beyond the river. That we call the sweet forever. And we only reach that shore by fate you see. Yes, I want to see my Jesus. Shake his hand and hear him greet us.
There's a land beyond the river that they call the sweet forever. And we only reach that shore by fate's decree. One by one we gain the portal there to dwell with Thee imortal.
(When they ring those golden bells for you and me). There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever. And we only reach that shore by fate's decree.
There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever. And we only reach at shore by fate's decree. One by one we'll gain the portals there to dwell with the immortals.
