| 1 | The gospel bells are ringing |
| Over land, from sea to sea; |
| Blessed news of free salvation |
| Do they offer you and me. |
| "For God so loved the world, |
| That His only Son He gave! |
| Whosoe'er believeth in Him |
| Everlasting life shall have." |
|
| Gospel bells! ... how they ring |
| Over land, from sea to sea! |
| Gospel bells ... freely bring |
| Blessed news to you and me. |
|
| 2 | The gospel bells invite us |
| To a feast prepared for all: |
| Do not slight the invitation, |
| Nor reject the gracious call. |
| "I am the Bread of life; |
| Eat of Me, thou hungry soul; |
| Though your sins be red as crimson, |
| They shall be as white as wool." |
|
| 3 | The gospel bells are joyful |
| As they echo far and wide, |
| Bearing notes of perfect pardon, |
| Through a Saviour crucified: |
| "Good tidings of great joy |
| To all people do I bring; |
| Unto you is born a Saviour, |
| Which is Christ the Lord," and King. |
