[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
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C C7
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
[Instrumental]

[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
[Instrumental]

[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
