This is the day the world was born;
God's voice rang out across the darkness,
light filled the sky that primal morn.
2 Ring from your steeple, bells of victory!
This is the day death's sting was drawn;
God's voice rang out, the tomb was empty,
hope sprang alive that Easter morn.
3 Ring from your steeple, bells of power!
This is the day when, at the dawn,
God's voice rang out through wind and fire,
fresh came the Spirit on thst morn.
4 Ring from your steeple, bells of heaven!
This is the day when none shall mourn;
God's voice rings out this one-in-seven,
joy fills the church this Sunday morn. Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns; Service Music Gathering, Call to Worship, Greeting Used With Tune: STEEPLE BELLS
