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, wandering child.
Refrain:
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 anew, a ransomed child.
3 Ring the bells of Heaven, spread the feast today;
Angels, swell the glad, triumphant strain!
Tell the joyful tidings, bear them far away,
For a precious soul is born again.
