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

Raised between the Earth and Heaven
Author: Wharton Buchanan Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #583 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Occasional Dedications-Bell; Dedications Bell Lyrics: 1 Raised between the earth and heaven,
Now our bells are set on high,
In the Name of Him Who giveth
Skill, and strength, and industry.
For His praise we meekly place it
As a gift beneath His throne;
All their sweet and noblest music
Shall resound for Him alone.
2 Faithful men afar shall listen,
'Mid their daily toil or rest,
While the melody shall bid them
Love the Church where all are blest.
They who languish, sick and lonely,
Shall be minded, as they sigh,
Of the Church's one communion,
God's true home and family.
3 When the spirits of the faithful
Pass away to light and peace;
Solemn tones shall then forewarn us,
Soon our life and work must cease.
May these loud reverberations,
Pealing forth in grand accord,
Lift our hearts through joy and sorrow
To Thy throne, most gracious Lord.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER
Raised between the Earth and Heaven
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.
