1. Unchanging God, who livest, Enthroned in realms on high, To men the power Thou givest. Thy name to magnify. We raise the bells for ringing, With ready mind and will, And come before Thee, bringing Our hearts, our strength, our skill. |
3. By union free and willing The work of God is done; Our Master's prayer fulfilling, We would in Him be one; One, as the Church our Mother Would have her children stand, Befriending one another, A strong and steadfast band.
|
2. | We call, from tower and steeple, Upon the day of days, All faithful Christian people To worship, prayer and praise; We ring with joyous gladness When man and wife are blessed: We peal in muffled sadness For loved ones laid to rest.
4. | Our lives, like bells, while changing An ordered course pursue; Through joys and sorrows ranging May all our lives ring true. May we, through Christ forgiven, Our faults and failures past, Attain our place in heaven Called home to rest at last. H.C. Wilder | |
