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]
