Author: Rev. Wm. O. Cushing Hymnal: Christ in Song #29 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy today Refrain First Line: Glory! glory! how the angels sing Lyrics: 1 Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy today,
For a soul, returning from the wild;
See! the Father meets him out upon the way,
Welcoming His weary, wand'ring child.
Chorus:
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 today,
For the wanderer now is reconciled;
Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,
And is born a new a ransomed child. [Chorus]
3 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]
