750. GOSPEL BELLS

---

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.”

CHORUS

Gospel bells… How they ring…
Over land from sea to sea
Gospel bells… Freely bring…
Blessed news to you and me.

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.”

The Gospel bells give warning
All they sound from day to day
Of the fate which doth await them
Who for ever will delay
“Escape thou for thy life
Tarry not in all the plain
Nor behind thee look, oh, never,
Lest thou be consumed in pain”.

The Gospel bells are joyful
All 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.
