Lyric

When the road feels long and narrow

And my hope begins to stall

I can hear a higher calling

Like a bell beyond the wall

Not a sound that rushes at me

Not a noise that asks for more

Just a steady open message

Saying “Lift your voice once more”

Hold the line, keep it true

Let the breath carry you

Hear the bells, hear the bells

Calling love through stone and air

Hear the bells, hear the bells

Soprano rising like a prayer

Altos low, a steady ground

One clear heart in one clear sound

Hear the bells

If I doubt my own direction

If I lose the thread of grace

Let the harmony remind me

I can start from where I am

Tenor warm, bass like a doorway

Open wide and standing near

And the choir keeps on telling me

There is nothing left to fear

Hold the line, keep it true

Let the light carry you

Hear the bells, hear the bells

Calling love through stone and air

Hear the bells, hear the bells

Soprano rising like a prayer

Altos low, a steady ground

One clear heart in one clear sound

Hear the bells

Ooh— answer the call

Ooh— we rise, we don’t fall

Hear the bells, hear the bells

Now the whole room lifts and swells

Hear the bells, hear the bells

We are held and we are well

Altos strong, sopranos bright

Carry us into the light

Hear the bells
