Ring, till our souls borne on pinions of love, Up to the mercy-seat soaring, Echo the praises the angels of light Sing, in the Eden above. [Refrain] 3 Joyfully ring as the years slip away, Bringing the welcome rest nearer; Cheering with melody all the long way, Christ and his love growing dearer. Merrily ring till each heart shall rejoice, Bathed in the light of his glory; Looking by faith thro’ the earth mist of tears, Up to the radiant skies.
