Hark the bells! hark the bells!
Author: Rev. Ambrose M. Schmidt, 1857- Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #26 (1899) Topics: Bells Lyrics: 1 Hark the bells! Hark the bells!
Hear the merry Christmas bells!
As they ring through all the earth,
Telling of the Saviour’s birth.
Happy morn! happy morn!
Lo the Prince of Peace is born!
Tell the story, Christ of glory,
Comes to reign! comes to reign!
Hark the angels are singing;
Alleluias are ringing;
Peace to men upon earth
And good will,” they loud proclaim!
Refrain:
Hark the bells! Hark the bells!
Hear the merry Christmas bells!
As they ring through all the earth,
Telling of the Savior’s birth.
Happy morn! happy morn!
Lo the Prince of Peace is born!
Tell the story, Christ of glory,
Comes to reign! comes to reign!
2 Wond’rous star! wond’rous star!
Guiding wise-men from afar;
O’er the desert plains they come,
Seeking David’s Royal Son;
Low they bow! low they bow!
At the manger cradle now;
Gifts of gold and precious treasure
Offer Him! offer Him!
Christmas bells are sweetly ringing,
Children, carols are singing;
Heaven and earth Alleluias
Raise to Christ the new-born King! [Refrain]
3 Holy Child! Holy Child!
Babe of Bethlehem so mild!
Come to us anew today,
Keep us in the perfect way.
Lord of all! Lord of all!
At Thy feet we humbly fall!
Here we worship and adore Thee,
Christ our King! Christ our King!
Open wide now the portals
Of your hearts, all ye mortals;
Let Him in! let Him in!
Let the Christ-child enter in! [Refrain]
Hark the bells! hark the bells!

The tolling bell
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCCLV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Tolling bell First Line: Oft as the bell, with solemn toll Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll,
Speaks the departure of a soul,
Let each one ask himself, "Am I
Prepar'd, should I be call'd to die?"
2 Only this frail and fleeting breath
Preserves me with the jaws of death;
Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone,
And plung'd into a world unknown.
3 Then, leaving all I lov'd below,
To God's tribunal I must go;
Must hear the Judge pronounce my fate,
And fix my everlasting state.
4 Lord Jesus! help me now to flee,
And seek my hope alone in thee;
Apply thy blood, thy spirit give,
Subdue my sin, and let me live.
5 Then, when the solemn bell I hear,
If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear;
Now would the thought distressing be,
Perhaps it next may toll for me.
6 Rather my spirit would rejoice,
And long and wish to hear thy voice;
Glad when it bids me earth resign,
Secure of heav'n if thou art mine. Languages: English

Aloft In Yonder Belfry
Author: H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #517 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Dedication Church Bell Lyrics: 1 Aloft in yonder belfry
Now hangs our hallowed bell;
Whene'er we hear its message,
O may we heed it well.
Its voice, to us appealing
In tones so rich and clear,
Shall call us all together,
God's holy Word to hear.
2 Its joyous peal resounding
On happy festal days
Shall move the congregation
To sing a hymn of praise;
And when a faithful member
His pilgrimage must end,
Then may its knell, tho' solemn,
A wealth of comfort lend.
3 Thus shall our joys and sorrows
Be mingled with its sound
Till we in heaven's mansions
God's holy throne surround,
With many thousand voices
To glorify the Lord,
Whose name by men and angels
Is worshiped and adored.
Amen.
