Hallowed Church Bell, Not For Earthly Centers

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #57 (1927) Meter: 10.9.10.9 First Line: Hallowed church bell not for earthly centers Lyrics: 1 Hallowed church bell, not for worldly centers Wast thou made but for the village small, Where thy toll, as home and hearth it enters, Blends with lullabies at even fall. 2 When a child, and in the country dwelling, Christmas morning seemed my heav'n on earth, And thy chimes, like angel voices swelling, Told with joy of my Redeemer’s birth. 3 Louder still thy joyful tones resounded When, on wings of early morning borne, They proclaimed: Awake with joy unbounded, Christ arose this blessed Easter morn. 4 Sweeter even was thy toll when blending With the calm of summer's eventide, And, like voices from the sky descending, They did bid me lay all care aside. 5 Hence, as now the day is softly ending, Shadows fall, and birds ascend their nest, With the flow'rs my head in silence bending, I am chanting with my soul at rest: 6 "When at last, O church bell, thou art tolling O’er my grave as loved ones weep and sigh, Say to them, their troubled hearts consoling: He is resting with the Lord on high!'"
