Deep And Grand In Tones Sublime

Deep and grand in tones sublime,

Hear the passing bells of time,

Ring the dirge of moments dead,

Golden hours whose joys are fled-

Still those bells of time we hear,

Tolling, tolling: Hark! the word:

Refrain

Eternity!

Eternity!

Eternity!

In the rosy morning fair,

In the sultry noonday glare,

In the dewy evening bright,

In the silent hush of night-

Still those bells of time we hear,

Tolling, tolling, loud and clear:

Refrain

When with breaking heart we bend,

O'er a tried and faithful friend,

When the parting hour draws nigh,

And we catch the last "goodbye"-

Still those bells of time we hear,

Tolling, tolling, loud and clear:

Refrain

Precious word! if safe we stand

On the Christian's borderland

Trusting Him, whose loving smile

Lights and cheers us all the while-

Bells of time with joy we hear,

Tolling, tolling, sweet and clear:

Refrain
