The Silver Chime ‎#3

3. The Silver Chime

1 Ring out, ring out, sweet silver bells,
A joyous, joyous chime,
Your welcome music ever tells
A Saviour's love divine.
Thrice blessed is the gladsome sound
Now pealing on the air,
With willing hearts and feet we bound
To God's own house of prayer.

2 Ring out, sweet bells, a happy strain,
Awake each tuneful voice
To praise His dear and holy name,
In Him let all rejoice.
We are the children of His love,
United may we live;
He stoops from His bright throne above,
To pity and forgive.

3 Ring out your free, inspiring call,
Sweet bells of silver tongue,
Before His footstool here we fall,
And breathe our grateful song;
To us ye speak of joys unseen,
Immortal life and light,
A world of purity serene,
Where faith is changed to sight.
