The King of Kings ‎#130

130. Missionary Bells

1 Keep them ringing, keep them ringing, missionary bells,
Pealing out the news of Jesus’ love;
While our gifts we bring to Jesus, happy music swells,
Telling of our blessed Friend above.

Refrain:
Bells! bells! missionary bells,
Keep them ringing, keep them ringing, each a story tells;
Sounding loud and free over land and sea,
Keep them ringing, keep them ringing, missionary bells.

2 Keep them ringing, keep them ringing, let the children’s hands
Pull the cords of love and faith and praise,
Till the children now in darkness, hear of God’s commands,
Learn to follow in the Savior’s ways. [Refrain]

3 Keep them ringing, keep them ringing, every one may share
In the loving service of our King;
Bring an off’ring, willing off’ring, wrap it up in pray’r;
Help the missionary bells to ring. [Refrain]
