When Your Life Rings True

Author: A. Printzlan Bowen Hymnal: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined #333 (1922) First Line: Does your life ring out for Jesus with a note of cheer Lyrics: 1 Does your life ring out for Jesus with a note of cheer, Telling to the world He daily grows more dear; It will vibrate thro’ the distance with His love for you, And come back a joyous echo, when your life rings true. Refrain: When your life rings true, When your life rings true, There will be an echo, coming back to you; When your life rings true, When your life rings true; There will be an echo, when your life rings true. 2 You may think the world ignores you as you pass along, Caring nothing for your stand against the wrong; But no matter what your station, or what you may do, Worldly friends are quick to know it, when your life rings true. [Refrain] 3 You may never know that you have help’d someone to win, In the struggle for the vict’ry over sin; You may never see the fruit of loving deeds you do, But there is an echo somewhere, when your life rings true [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Does your life ring out for Jesus with a note of cheer]
