You May Have the Joy-Bells

Ps.16.11

You may have the joy-bells ringing in your heart,

And a peace that from you never will depart;

Walk the straight and narrow way,

Live for Jesus ev’ry day,

He will keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.

Joy-bells ringing in your heart,

Joy-bells ringing in your heart;

Take the Savior here below

With you ev’rywhere you go;

He will keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.

Love of Jesus in its fullness you may know;

And this love to those around you sweetly show;

Words of kindness always say;

Deeds of mercy do each day,

Then He’ll keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.

You will meet with trials as you journey home;

Grace sufficient He will give to overcome;

Though unseen by mortal eye,

He is with you ever nigh,

And He’ll keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.

Let your life speak well of Jesus ev’ry day;

Own His right to ev’ry service you can pay;

Sinners you can help to win

If your life is pure and clean,

And you keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.
