1. Ring the bells of Heaven! there is joy today For a soul returning from the wild! See! the Father meets him out upon the way, Welcoming His weary, wand’ring child.
Refrain: Glory! glory! How the angels sing; Glory! glory! how the loud harps ring! ’Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea, Pealing forth the anthem of the free!
2. Ring the bells of Heaven! there is joy today, For the wand’rer now is reconciled; Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way, And is born anew a ransomed child.
3. Ring the bells of Heaven! spread the feast today! Angels, swell the glad triumphant strain! Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away! For a precious soul is born again.
