You May Have the Joy-Bells

A                          D               A
You may have the joy-bells ringing in your heart,
E 
And a peace that from you never will depart;
A                            D
Walk the straight and narrow way,
B7                   E
Live for Jesus ev’ry day,
                           A       E  E7   A
He will keep the joy-bells ringing in your heart.

Chorus:
A
Joy-bells ringing in your heart,
E7        B7              E  
Joy-bells ringing in your heart;
A                       D
Take the Saviour here below
                        E
With you ev’rywhere you go;
E7                         A       E7      A
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.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

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.
