Author: Michael Saward Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project First Line: Ring from your steeple, bells of gladness! Lyrics: 1 Ring from your steeple, bells of gladness! This is the day the world was born; God's voice rang out across the darkness, light filled the sky that primal morn. 2 Ring from your steeple, bells of victory! This is the day death's sting was drawn; God's voice rang out, the tomb was empty, hope sprang alive that Easter morn. 3 Ring from your steeple, bells of power! This is the day when, at the dawn, God's voice rang out through wind and fire, fresh came the Spirit on that morn. 4 Ring from your steeple, bells of heaven! This is the day when none shall mourn; God's voice rings out this one-in-seven, joy fills the church this Sunday morn.
