Lyrics: Bill Monroe. Wicked Path Of Sin.

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 the joy bells ringing
Where my friends and loved ones wait
I can hear the angels singing
Just inside the pearly gates

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 the joy bells ringing
Where my friends and loved ones wait
I can hear the angels singing
Just inside the pearly gates

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 the joy bells ringing
Where my friends and loved ones wait
I can hear the angels singing
Just inside the pearly gates

Oh, I can hear the joy bells ringing
Where my friends and loved ones wait
I can hear the angels singing
Just inside the pearly gates

The pearly gates
The pearly gates
The pearly gates
