Ring the Bells of Heaven
words: William O. Cushing
music: George F. Root
Background music: Joyful Noise Music
Ring the bells of heaven! There is joy today
For a soul returneth from the wild!
See, the Father meets him out upon the way,
Welcoming His weary, wandering child.
Ring the bells of heaven! There is joy today
For the wanderer now is reconciled:
Yes, a soul is rescued from His sinful way
And is born anew a ransomed child.
Ring the bells of heaven! Spread the feast today!
Angels, swell the glad, triumphant strain!
Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away,
For a precious soul is born again.
CHORUS
Glory! Glory! How the angels sing;
Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!
'Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,
Pealing for the anthem of the free.
