Lyrics

illustration

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.
