You May Have the Joy-Bells

You may have the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart

And a peace that from you

Never will de­part;

Walk the straight and nar­row way

Live for Je­sus ev­ery day

He will keep the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart.

Joy-bells ring­ing in your heart

Joy-bells ring­ing in your heart;

Take the Sav­ior here be­low

With you ev­ery­where you go;

He will keep the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart.

Love of Je­sus in its

Fullness you may know;

And this love to those

Around you sweet­ly show;

Words of kind­ness al­ways say;

Deeds of mer­cy do each day

Then He’ll keep the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart.

You will meet with tri­al

As you jour­ney home;

Grace suf­fi­cient He will

Give to ov­er­come;

Though un­seen by mor­tal eye

He is with you ev­er nigh

And He’ll keep the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart.

Let your life speak well of

Jesus ev­ery day;

Own His right to ev­ery

Service you can pay;

Sinners you can help to win

If your life is pure and clean

And you keep the joy-bells

Ringing in your heart.
