Let Bells Ring Out

There are bells for weddings, bells for births

And bells for calls to prayer

There are bells for mourning, bells for mirth

And bells for freedom’s dare

 

There are bells for fire, bells for floods

And bells for threatened shores

There are bells for silence, bells that thud

And bells for music scores

 

So why no bells for Nature’s ways

No bells for dusk or dawn?

Why no bells for dying days

No bells for breaking morn?

 

And why no bells for summer sun

No bells for winter moon?

Why no bells when autumn’s come

No bells for springtime bloom?

 

Let bells ring out for living things

All creatures small and great

Let bells ring out: with beating wings

Our messengers of fate

 

Let bells ring out from mountain peaks

And toll from valleys low

Let bells ring out: Creation speaks

And all the world should know.
