The Gospel Bells

Verse 1

The gospel bells ring joyfully Across the land, across the sea, Now soft and low, now loud and strong, They chant to us a happy song.

Chorus

Ring out, glad bells, How joyfully your music tells The blessed story of the free, Of peace and joy and liberty.

Verse 2

The gospel bells in music tell The story that we love so well, Of “peace on earth, goodwill to men”: Ring out, sweet bells, ring out again.

Verse 3

Ring out until the truth is heard, That Jesus gave His life, His word, To ransom all, both you and me— Oh, blessed, blessed victory.

Verse 4

Ring out, glad gospel bells, again, Repeat the everlasting strain, Till, all redeemed on yonder shore, We sing “goodwill” forevermore.
