Author: Haldor Lillenas Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Sabbath bells are chiming, far and near Lyrics: 1 Sabbath bells are chiming, far and near,
Hear their mellow music, sweet and clear;
Ringing forth an invitation,
Unto ev’ry tribe and nation:
“Come and seek the great salvation,”
Ring the Sabbath bells.
Refrain:
Sabbath bells, Blessed bells,
Ever sweetly, sweetly chime,
Peal your notes of joy sublime;
Sabbath bells, Blessed bells,
Evermore the Lord extol;
O Sabbath bells, Blessed bells.
2 Sabbath bells are pealing on the air,
Sending consolation ev’rywhere;
Unto those in deepest sorrow,
Who can consolation borrow,
From the Lord, today, tomorrow,
Ring the Sabbath bells. [Refrain]
3 Sabbath bells are singing, hear their song,
Wafted on the breezes, sweet and strong;
Hear the anthem glad and cheery,
Giving rest unto the weary,
And new joys to pathways dreary,
Ring the Sabbath bells. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Sabbath bells are chiming, far and near]
