In this awful world of sorrow

On this wicked path of sin

Never thinking of tomorrow

Or what I'd lose in the end



Oh I can hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells ringing

Where my friends (where my friends) and loved ones wait

Oh I can hear the angels singing (sweet singing)

Just inside (just inside) those pearly gates



I can hear my savior calling

Saying come unto me

Wash away your sins forever

And you shall rest eternally



Now I'm safe with my Jesus

He will guide me on my way

I will sing His praise forever

We'll meet in heaven some sweet day
