Sweet Heavenly Bells

Author: Ray G. Upson Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: List to the strains now steal­ing Refrain First Line: Sweet bells, sweet bells Lyrics: 1 List to the strains now steal­ing, Borne from the far off home; Heavenly chimes are peal­ing, Bidding the wan­d’rer come. Refrain: Sweet bells, sweet bells, Sweet hea­ven­ly bells of love; Sweet bells, sweet bells! Are call­ing from Heav’n above. 2 Calling to souls now stray­ing Far from the Shep­herd’s fold; Heavenly mu­sic play­ing, Calling them from the cold. [Refrain] 3 Sweet me­lo­dies are plead­ing, "Enter the op­en door"; Loved ones are in­ter­ced­ing, Over on yon­der shore. [Refrain] 4 Come to the feast that’s of­fered; Hunger His love dis­pels; Take of the grace that’s prof­fered, List to the heav’n­ly bells. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [List to the strains now steal­ing] Text Sources: Make Christ King, Combined by Edwin O. Excell (Chicago: Glad Tidings Company, 1916)
