He Set the Joy-Bells Ringing

Oh

bless the Lord

He cleansed my soul

And filled my lips with sing­ing;

He came in my poor

sin­ful heart

And set the joy-bells ring­ing.

Oh

praise the Lord

He first loved me;

I feel new life up­spring­ing;

He came in my poor

sin­ful heart

And set the joy-bells ring­ing.

He placed my feet up­on the rock

The on­ly sure foun­da­tion;

He shows me won­ders of His grace

The bless­ings of sal­va­tion.

His pro­mise is for all the days

His love for me is car­ing;

While in the Fa­ther’s house ab­ove

A man­sion He’s pre­par­ing.

His love is call­ing

seek­ing still

Come

ev­ery bur­den bring­ing;

The touch of Christ with­in your heart

Will set the joy-bells ring­ing.
