The bells do ring,

Hey ding n ding,
Ringing for Joy to start the week again
And call all Christian men
To pray and praise and sing.
Then pull your ropes with vigOr,
And watch your ways
To thread with strfctest rigOr
The noisy maze;
Keep in your heart the fire of youth

That he who rings Alright
May ring in happy days.
And we who hear the bells ring
With all their might,
As they do say the angels sing
Both day and night.
Praise we the men who built our belfriea

That music from the sky
Might sound for our delight.
