Ring the Bell

In the road was a bell in the bell was a sound
Of days that have come and gone

And the road ran to a little town on the hillside
Where the word of the Lord lives on

Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide

You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
Ring the bell and go to His side

Well I followed it down from the forest to the town
In the darkness in dead of night

There were children dancing there with flowers in their hair
And the streets were lit with candle light

Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide

Now the farmer and the teacher and the barber and the preacher
All held hands and moved as one

The holy words of some not spoken of a circle unbroken
And the spirit moved in everyone

Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide

In the middle of the street I fell down hard on my knees
To the payment that shown like gold

With a shiver in the stars He reached into my heart
And with the kindest words I was told

Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide

Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
