1.) Good night, good servant. Don't say a word. / Our minds still ponder the things that we've already heard. / And I wish I could swallow some of the pain that you're going through. / But heaven's bells are ringing, and this time they're for you / They're ringing for you.
2.) Earthly days we've passed with strife, like a tale sometimes sadly told. / Our labour and our sorrow, I think it's making us crazy and old. / Our hope's in heaven. We're pilgrims in this tired, tired land. / Our sure salvation: held in the master's holy holy holy hand. / (He holds us forever . . .) / Forever and On.
A.) Fly away when you're ready. / When you can see his face. / He is there, he's waiting, / to be with you in that promised place.
3.) Your life's a novel. I read it everyday. / You wrote it on my heart. With tears I turn each page. / And seeds you've planted, still grow even when you're gone. / Your love for Jesus: he is the melody of your sweet song. / Sing it on forever: Forever and On.
B.) Like abird into the sunrise. / Make your entrance grand. / Well done, good and faithful one. / Enter in your promised land.
(Instrumental interlude.)
4.) So let the angels ring those bells for you. / And may they gently lead you right on through. / I'll see you someday. I guess God keeps the time. / I love you so, hey, goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye, goodbye. (Hello forever. . .) Forever and On. Forever and On.
