112. Gospel Bells

1 Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!
Spread the glad news of perfect salvation,
Tell it to ev’ry clime and nation;
Of peace and of joy thy music tells,
Ring, ring on, ye gospel bells!

Refrain:
Ring, O ring, ring, O ring,
Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!
Of peace and joy thy music tells,
Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!

2 Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!
Go to the weary, heavy-hearted,
Go to the souls whose hopes have departed,
Tell them in Christ their ransom dwells,
Ring, ring on, ye gospel bells! [Refrain]

3 Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!
Over the waters wide be flying,
Unto the souls in heathendom lying;
Then till thy notes their gloom dispels,
Ring, ring on, ye gospel bells! [Refrain]

4 Ring, O ring, ye gospel bells!
Stay not thy voice until every creature,
Every ruined son of nature,
Join in the song that upward swells,
Ring, ring on, ye gospel bells! [Refrain]
