A Christian Hymn

Music: George F. Root, 1866

"There is joy in the presence of angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." - Luke 15:10

For Roda, my wife...

Thanks Kuya Shan for the chords..

Key of E in standard guitar tuning..

Verse 1:

E                         A
Ring the bells of Heaven! There is joy today,
B7                              E
For a soul, returning from the wild!
E                         A
See, the Father meets him out upon the way,
B7                              E
Welcoming His weary, wandering child.
 
Refrain:

E                      C#m 
Glory! Glory! How the angels sing:
F#                     B7
Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!
E                       A
â??Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,
B7                              E
Pealing forth the anthem of the free.

Verse 2: (same chord for all verses)
Ring the bells of Heaven! There is joy today,
For the wanderer now is reconciled;
Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,
And is born anew a ransomed child.
 
(Refrain)

Verse 3: 
Ring the bells of Heaven! Spread the feast today!
Angels, swell the glad triumphant strain!
Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away!
For a precious soul is born again.
 
(Refrain)

To God be all the glory forever, amen..
