The Evergreen ‎#97

97. Chime On, Sweet Bells

1 Sweetly chime the glad bells,
And their merry joy tells,
That the hour for the school is here;
And we hasten away,
There to praise and to pray,
In our own Sabbath School so dear.

Chorus:
Chime on, sweet bells,
Happy Sabbath School bells,
Blessed Sabbath School bells, chime on!
Chime on, sweet bells,
Happy Sabbath School bells,
Blessed Sabbath School bells, chime on!
Chime on, chime on, chime on, chime on.

2 There our Saviour we meet,
And we bow at His feet,
And his blessing and grace implore;
And we joyfully raise
Grateful anthems of praise,
And his mercy and love adore. [Chorus]
