Joy-Bells in My Soul

Sadness has de­part­ed

fear has fled away

Free and hap­py heart­ed

I’m the Lord’s to­day;

Songs of praise I’m sing­ing

fac­ing yon­der goal

With the joy-bells ring­ing in my blood-bought soul.

Joy-bells

joy-bells

ring­ing in my soul;

Joy-bells

joy-bells

I am free and whole.

Jesus sought and found me

Placed His arms around me

Set the bless­èd joy-bells ring­ing in my soul.

I have ceased to wan­der in the land of shame

Time no more I squan­der

bless His ho­ly name;

To His hand I’m cling­ing

trust­ing His con­trol

With the joy-bells ring­ing in my blood-bought soul.

Going home to glo­ry

ev­er His to be

Telling out the sto­ry of His love for me;

Praises I’ll be sing­ing while the ag­es roll

With the joy-bells ring­ing in my blood-bought soul.
