1 The bells of joy are ringing,
Since I my Savior know;
His love just keeps me singing,
As on my way I go.

Chorus:
Glad praises I am bringing,
That sinners all may know
That Jesus keeps me singing
And happy here below.

2 Sometimes a burden bends me,
But still my carol rings,
For strength and cheer He sends me
From life's eternal springs. [Chorus]

3 The storm will oft be sweeping,
Temptation will be strong,
But I am in His keeping,
And shall not lose my song. [Chorus]

4 Sometime, when I the story
Shall sing no more below,
I'll sing in realms of glory
Of Him who loves me so. [Chorus]
