Hark to the Bells

Bells of praise! Bells of praise!

How the mer­ry bells are ring­ing

Joyous notes their mes­sage bring­ing!

Come where love and mer­cy meet

Bells of praise ring clear and sweet.

Hark to the bells so sweet­ly blend­ing;

Go with heart and voice at­tend­ing;

Love and mer­cy meet you there

In this hour of praise and pray­er.

Bells of pray­er! Bells of pray­er!

Oh

how ten­der­ly the plead­ing

Weary

long­ing souls en­treat­ing

Have a par­don full and free!

Bells of pray­er en­treat­ing thee!

Bells of joy! Bells of joy!

Loud and clear the peals are tell­ing

Of the songs of prais­es swell­ing.

Worship in yon tem­ple hall;

Bells of joy pro­claim the call.
