Smith Meter: 8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Dedication of House, Places and Things Church Bells Lyrics: 1 Raised between the earth and heaven, Now our bells are set on high; In the Name of Him Who giveth Skill, and strength, and industry. 2 For His praise we meekly lay them As a gift beneath His throne; All their sweet and noblest music Shall resound for Him alone. 3 Faithful men afar shall listen, 'Mid their daily toil or rest, While the melody shall bid them Love the Church where all are blest. 4 Earth's rejoicings, bright and holy, Shall be signed with joyful peal; And the music from the steeple Shall our love and faith reveal. 5 They who languish, sick and lonely, Shall be minded as they sigh, Of the Church's one communion, God's true home and family. 6 When the spirits of the faithful Pass away to light and peace; Solemn tones shall then forewarn us, Soon our life and work must cease. 7 May these loud and well-tuned voices, Pealing forth in grand accord, Lift our hearts through joy and sorrow To Thy throne, most gracious Lord. Amen. Used With Tune: [Raised between the earth and heaven]

Aloft In Yonder Belfry

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Dedication Church Bell Lyrics: 1 Aloft in yonder belfry Now hangs our hallowed bell; Whene'er we hear its message, O may we heed it well. Its voice, to us appealing In tones so rich and clear, Shall call us all together, God's holy Word to hear. 2 Its joyous peal resounding On happy festal days Shall move the congregation To sing a hymn of praise; And when a faithful member His pilgrimage must end, Then may its knell, tho' solemn, A wealth of comfort lend. 3 Thus shall our joys and sorrows Be mingled with its sound Till we in heaven's mansions God's holy throne surround, With many thousand voices To glorify the Lord, Whose name by men and angels Is worshiped and adored. Amen. Used With Tune: WEBB
