1 Let the joy-bells ring while we gather in His name,
His sov’reign pow’r and mercy to proclaim,
Over land and sea swell the chorus loud and long,
And tell His loving, joyful song.

Chorus:
Let the joy-bells ring while we gladly sing
Of a Saviour’s love from the realms above,
Blessings rich He brings,
Let the joy-bells ring, o’er the earth from sea to sea,
The glorious song of victory.

2 Let the joy-bells ring while we serve our Lord and King,
For serving Him true happiness will bring.
Standing firm each day soldiers true we e’er will be,
While marching on to victory. [Chorus]

3 Let the joy-bells ring, tell to others far and near,
Of a gospel full of comfort, hope, and cheer,
Full and free for all who upon His name will call,
The mighty One who died for all. [Chorus]
