[1] In this awful world of sorrow
In this wicked path of [5] sin
Never [1] thinking of tomorrow
Or what I'd lose in the end

Oh I can [4] hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells [1] ringing (the joy bells ringing)
Where my friends (where my friends) and loved ones [5] wait
I can [4] hear (I can hear) the angels [1] singing (the angels singing)
Just inside (just inside) the [5] pearly [1] gates

I can hear my savior calling
Won't you come unto me
Wash away your sins forever
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
