Representative Text

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]
