Hark! The temp’rance bells
are ringing,
Joyous music fills the air;
Strength and hope
their tones are bringing
To the homes where dwelt despair.
Hear the bells
joyous bells,
Chime the anthem of the free;
Hear the bells,
merry bells,
Sound the temp’rance jubilee!
Long the tyrant foe hath taken
Cherished loved ones for his own;
Now his cruel power is shaken,
Soon will fall his tott’ring throne.
Hear the bells
joyous bells,
Chime the anthem of the free;
Hear the bells,
merry bells,
Sound the temp’rance jubilee!
Brothers, come!
The hosts are forming!
Let us join without delay;
Bright the hills
with tints of morning,
Dawning of better day.
Hear the bells
joyous bells,
Chime the anthem of the free;
Hear the bells,
merry bells,
Sound the temp’rance jubilee!
