[Verse 1]
       C                      C7
In the road was a bell in the bell was a sound
   F                       C
Of days that have come and gone
        C
And the road ran to a little town on the hillside
                      G7         C
Where the word of the Lord lives on


[Chorus]
         C
Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
                F                          C
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
C
You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side

Well I followed it down from the forest to the town
       F                   C
In the darkness in dead of night
           C
There were children dancing there with flowers in their hair
                         G7          C
And the streets were lit with candle light

[Chorus]
         C
Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
                F                          C
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
C
You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side

[Verse 3]
         C                             C7
Now the farmer and the teacher and the barber and the preacher
         F                  C
All held hands and moved as one
           C
Those holy words were sung not spoken of a circle unbroken
                     G7      C
And the spirit moved in everyone


[Chorus]
         C
Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
                F                          C
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
C
You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side

[Verse 4]
       C                                C7
In the middle of the street I fell down hard on my knees
       F                        C
To the pavement that shown like gold

With a shiver and a start He reached into my heart
                     G7          C
And with the kindest words I was told


[Chorus]
         C
Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
                F                          C
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
C
You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side


[Chorus]
         C
Ring the bell (ring the bell) ring the bell
                F                          C
(Ring the bell) ring the bell both far and wide
C
You can hear it on the mountain

And down across the valley
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side


[Outro]
                  G7        C
Ring the bell and go to His side
