Light and Life ‎#15

15. Ring, Joy-bells, ring!

1 Morn is breaking o'er the hills,
Sweetly sing the little rills
'Tis the blessed Sabbath day,
We'll to Sabbath School away.

Chorus:
Ring, Ring, joybells ring!
Little brooklets sweetly sing;
Echo softly hill and dale,
Echo, echo, smiling vale.

2 All around the sky is bright,
Fill'd with waves of golden light;
Flow'rs unfold their petals fair,
Birds are chanting in the air. [Chorus]

3 Oh! how thankful we should be
For the beauty we can see:
For the friends we love so dear,
For a Saviour ever near. [Chorus]
