1. You may have the joy-bells ringing in your heart,
And a peace that from you never will depart;
Walk the straight and narrow way,
Live for Jesus ev’ry day,
He will keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
Chorus:
Joy-bells ringing in your heart,
Joy-bells ringing in your heart;
Take the Savior here below
With you ev’rywhere you go,
He will keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
2. Love of Jesus in its fullness you may know,
And this love to those around you sweetly show;
Words of kindness always say,
Deeds of mercy do each day,
Then He’ll keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
3. You will meet trials as you journey home,
Grace sufficient He will give to overcome;
Tho’ unseen by mortal eye,
he is with you, ever nigh,
And He’ll keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
4. Let your life’s speak well of Jesus ev’ry day,
Own His right to ev’ry service you can pay;
Sinners you can help to win,
If your life is pure and clean,
And you keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
