The song "When They Ring the Bells of Heaven" is a beloved gospel hymn that celebrates the joyous anticipation of being united in Heaven with loved ones and the Lord. The song paints a picture of the heavenly scene where bells of joy are rung to welcome believers into their eternal home. It reflects on the promise of a glorious reunion and eternal peace, emphasizing the joy that awaits in the presence of God. With a song written by Marion W. Easterling (writing over 300 Gospel songs including "When I Wake Up to Sleep No More") and with a chorus written by Albert Brumley (writing over 800 songs including "I'll Fly Away"), how can you NOT love "When They Ring the Bells of Heaven." It is a real clap-along, toe-tapping good time!

Easterling often wrote songs that were intended to uplift and inspire faith, and "When They Ring the Bells of Heaven" fits well within that context. The idea of bells ringing in Heaven likely symbolized for him the triumph of a soul reaching its eternal home, a common and powerful theme in Southern Gospel music.

"7. I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance." Luke 15:7

Verse 1
That'll be a happy morning over the sea,
When the cares of life shall pass away (shall pass away forever),
He'll be there to welcome all the ransom and free
When they ring the bells of Heaven on that day

Chorus
When they ring the bells of Heaven (Heaven),
Ring the bells of glory (glory)
When redeemed are gathered on that day (on the hallelujah morning)
Everybody singing (shouting)
What a happy meeting
When they ring the bells of Heaven on that day

Verse 2
Press along rejoicing through this unfriendly land
Glory land is waiting all the way (the sun is always shining)
That'll be a glad homecoming, won't it be grand
When they ring the bells of Heaven on that day
