Ringing, Sweetly Ringing

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

The cheer­ful Sab­bath bells;

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

The cheer­ful Sab­bath bells.

We lin­ger a mo­ment their call to hear

Then haste away to our school so dear;

Over the green­wood joy­ous and free

Singing with glad­ness

hap­py are we.

While ov­er the dist­ant hill

Their mu­sic is float­ing still

Hear the ec­ho

ec­ho

ec­ho;

Sweet Sab­bath bells

Hear the ec­ho

ec­ho

ec­ho

Sweet Sab­bath bells.

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

Their sil­ver chimes we love;

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

Their sil­ver chimes we love.

A mis­sion of peace to the heart they bear

A wel­come call to the house of prayer;

Telling of rap­tures

tell­ing of rest

Mansions of glo­ry

tran­quil and blest.

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

Those cheer­ful Sab­bath bells;

Ringing

sweet­ly ring­ing

Those cheer­ful Sab­bath bells.

O! let us be grate­ful to God above

Who crown­eth our days with the light of love

Blessèd Re­deem­er

ev­er to Thee

Praise from Thy child­ren of­fered shall be.
