96. Chime, Beautiful Bells

1 Chime, beautiful bells, till all the wide world
Shall hear of the wondrous salvation;
While mountain and dell, the glad echoes swell,
Good tidings to bear to each nation.

Refrain:
O ring, ye bells! The news proclaim,
Ring loud and clear, that all may hear,
Ring till the islands of the sea
Shall join the blessed jubilee.
O ring, ye bells! Till truth unfurled,
Triumphant waves o’er all the world,
Till with your notes the song shall ring,
Thro’ all the earth the Lord, the Lord is King!

2 Chime, beautiful bells, and gather them in,
The souls that in darkness are lying;
Ring softly and tell the message of love,
O ring! On the sweet echoes flying. [Refrain]

3 Chime, beautiful bells, till light from on high,
Thro’ all the dark clouds shall be breaking;
Chime sweetly and clear till hopeless ones hear,
And join in the blessed awaking. [Refrain]
