To and fro the church bells swing,
In the steeple high;
Hear them while they loudly sing
Underneath the sky.
Refrain
Ding, dong, ding,
The great bells ring,
Calling This is Sunday morning;
Ding, dong, ding,
Ding, dong, ding,
The great bells ring;
Hear them loudly singing in the morning.
Come to church,
they seem to say,
’Tis the hour of prayer;
Come, and worship God today
In His temple fair.
Refrain
Let me, like the bells above,
Never weary grow,
Telling of the Lord I love,
So the world may know.
