Verse 1:
E A
Ring the bells of Heaven! There is joy today,
B7 E
For a soul, returning from the wild!
E A
See, the Father meets him out upon the way,
B7 E
Welcoming His weary, wandering child.
Refrain:
E C#m
Glory! Glory! How the angels sing:
F# B7
Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!
E A
’Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,
B7 E
Pealing forth the anthem of the free.
Verse 2: (same chord for all verses)
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.
(Refrain)
Verse 3:
Ring the bells of Heaven! Spread the feast today!
Angels, swell the glad triumphant strain!
Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away!
For a precious soul is born again.
(Refrain)
To God be all the glory forever, amen..
