Joy-Bells
Author: Josepine Pollard Hymnal: Gems of Song #60 (1901) First Line: Joybells ringing, Children singing Refrain First Line: Joybells! joybells! Lyrics: 1 Joy-bells ringing,
Children singing,
Fill the air with music sweet;
Joyful measure,
Guileless pleasure,
Make the chain of song complete.
Chorus:
Joy-bells! Joy-bells!
Never, never cease your singing;
List, list, the song that swells.
Joy-bells! Joy-bells!
2 Joy-bells ringing,
Children singing,
Hark! Their voices, loud and clear,
Breaking o’er us,
Like a chorus
From a purer, happier sphere. [Chorus]
3 Earth seems brighter,
Hearts grow lighter,
As the tuneful melody
Charms our sadness
Into gladness,
Pealing, pealing joyfully. [Chorus]
4 Joy-bells nearer
Sound, and clearer,
When the heart is free from care;
Skies are clearing,
While we’re hearing
Joy-bells ringing everywhere. [Chorus]
