Representative Text

1 I love to hear the Sabbath bells
Ring out their music sweet,
And to the hallowed house of prayer
Their welcome call repeat.

Refrain:
Sabbath bells! Dear Sabbath bells!
In sweet accord their voice blend;
Sabbath bells! Dear Sabbath bells!
They bid our thoughts to heav’n ascend.

2 They bid us lift our songs of praise
To Him who reigns above,
And offer in His earthly courts
The tribute of our love. [Refrain]

3 The pleading of the Sabbath bells
We willingly obey,
And hither come with grateful hearts
To worship God today. [Refrain]
