Author: Michael Perry (1942-1996) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #771 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Ephesians 1:6-8 Lyrics: 1 Ring out the bells, and let the people know
that God is worshipped by the church below:
to all around this truth the bells declare —
'Your needs are lifted up to God in prayer!'
2 Ring out the bells, and let the people hear —
let hearts be open now, and faith draw near;
receive the grace that only God can give —
by word and symbol feed and grow and live.
3 Ring out the bells, and let the people sing
through changing seasons to our changeless King:
all perfect gifts are sent us from above —
respond with praises for such faithful love.
4 Ring out the bells until that glorious day
when death shall die and sin be done away:
then comes our God so everyone shall see —
let all the bells ring out in victory! Topics: Bells; Change; Church Worship; Praise; Victory Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLANDS
