Refrain 1
I hear the bells, I hear the bells.
I hear the bells, I hear the bells.

Verse 1
Someone cares for me when nights are long,
Someone loves me even when I'm wrong.
Now I have faith in love instead of fear.
-Now I have a song, heavenly music I hear.

Chorus
The bells are ringing in my heart,
The message echoes in my ears,
That God has chosen my life,
And made its meaning oh so clear.
The bells are ringing in my heart,
Their song of love will never end,
For every time I speak of this great love,
I hear the bells again.

Refrain 2
I hear the bells [I hear the bells],
I hear the bells [I hear the bells].

Verse 2
He'll take a lonely life that's lived in vain,
And with His loving hands use what remains.
Oh, He fills the empty heart that wants Him there.
He'll give you a song, heavenly music you'll hear.

Repeat Chorus

Refrain 3
