Ding dong! ding dong!Rings the bell from out the steeple.Ding dong! ding dong! see the people,As the bellWith its swellSeems to sayCome away’Tis Sabbath day.Ding dong! ding dong!In answer to the call they go.The rich and poor, the high and low,To praise and pray,They haste away;The numbers swell,As sounds the bellThrough vale and dell.Ding dong! ding dong!What varied feeling it awakes;Of joy and sadness it partakes.O! Sabbath bell,You cannot tell,What tender feeling,And deep revealing,Lies in your pealing.Ding dong! ding dong!O! Sabbath bells, ring out more clearly,Till everywhere, hearts more sincerelyWorship and pray.Ring in the dayToward which we tend,When hearts shall blend,And all our prayers as one ascend.
