Beautiful Eden Bells

Beautiful bells of Ed­en fair

Chiming at eve on the calm

still air

Lifting the soul with its toil op­pressed

Into the vales of the pure and blessed.

Sweet

beau­ti­ful bells;

That oft in a dream I hear

Welcome the mes­sage they bring to me

Over the waves of the crys­tal sea.

Beautiful bells of Ed­en bright

Murmuring on thro’ the hush of night

Telling my soul of the friends I love

Gathered and safe in their home ab­ove.

Beautiful bells of Ed­en chime

Softly they breathe in their tones sub­lime;

Echo of joy from a white-robed throng

Praising the Lord in a world of song.
