Calvary Songs ‎#162c

162c. Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy to-day

1 Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy to-day,
For a soul returning from the wild;
See! the father meets him out upon the way,
Welcoming his weary, wand'ring child.

Refrain:
Glory! glory! how the angels sing;
Glory! glory! how the loud harps ring;
'Tis the ransomed army like a mighty sea,
Pealing forth the anthem of the free.

2 Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy to-day,
For the wanderer now is reconciled;
Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,
And is born anew a ransomed child. [Refrain]

3 Ring the bells of heaven! spread the feast to-day,
Angels swell the glad triumphant strain;
Tell the joyful tidings! bear it far away!
For a precious soul is born again. [Refrain]
