In this awful world of sorrow
In 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 bell ringing (the joy bell ringing)
Where my friends (where my friends)
and loved ones wait (loved ones wait)
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The angels singing (the angels singing)
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gate
I can hear my savior calling
Won't you come unto me
Wash away your sins forever
You shall rest eternally
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The joy bells ringing (the joy bell ringing)
Where my friends (where my friends)
And loved ones wait (loved ones wait)
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The angels singing (the angels singing)
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gate
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
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The joy bell ringing (the joy bell ringing)
Where my friends (where my friends)
And loved ones wait (loved ones wait)
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The angels singing (the angels singing)
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gate
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The joy bell ringing (the joy bell ringing)
Where my friends (where my friends)
And loved ones wait (loved ones wait)
Oh, I can hear (oh, I can hear)
The angels singing (the angels singing)
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gate
(The pearly gate, the pearly gate, the pearly gate)
