OUR BELL
By Daniel Albert

Here we stand to the front of our beloved chapel
Looking at this instrument of sound we marvel
Hanging on a sturdy tower made of metal
With 'HOLY FAMILY RC CHURCH' as its label
Throughout our village its gentle chimes will travel
Spreading our Catholic presence as its bevel
Thousands of ears will hear its musical Gospel
Raising their awareness to a higher level
We'll say 'Peace of Christ, Glory to Emmanuel'
As we celebrate the first tolling 'Our Bell'

Our bell will announce the service we render
With a tone of sound always soothing and tender
Our Bell will toll when we join one to the other
Our Bell will depart to hereafter
Our Bell will toll on Christmas Eve we can ensure
To herald the birth of Jesus, Most Holy, Most Pure
And every year on New Year's Eve it will endure
To ring out the past, as it rings in the future
We'll say, Peace of Christ, Glory to Emmanuel
Whenever we hear the sweat tolling of 'Our Bell'
