Church Bell Chime

Church Bell Chime 

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Don’t know how to feel

Should I stand up stoically

Or get down and kneel

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Calling or a knell?

I cannot tell

If someone rose or fell

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Earliest of calls

Echoing throughout the town

Keeping time for all

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime
Days before the din

I lift my chin

To talk of grace and sin

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Mystic and morose

Other times so practical

Doling out a dose

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Ice into a glass?

Or clanging brass?

I’ll find out at the mass

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Up the winding stairs

If the belfry’s empty

Let me throw some silver there

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Found the village bell

Under the spell

Bellmaker will do well

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Hanging high above

Calling in all echelons

The pigeons and the doves

Church bell chime 

Church bell chime

Moonlight through the slits

Its prominence

Still shrouded in the mist
