14316. Church Bells

1 To and fro the church bells swing,
In the steeple high;
Hear them while they loudly sing
Underneath the sky.

Refrain"
"Ding, dong, ding,"
The great bells ring,
Calling "This is Sunday morning;
Ding, dong, ding,
Ding, dong, ding,"
The great bells ring;
Hear them loudly singing in the morning.

2 "Come to church," they seem to say,
"’Tis the hour of prayer;
Come, and worship God today
In His temple fair." [Refrain]

3 Let me, like the bells above,
Never weary grow,
Telling of the Lord I love,
So the world may know. [Refrain]
