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, wand'ring child.

Chorus:
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 wand'rer now is reconciled;
Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,
And is born anew, a ransomed child. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
