SWEET CHIMING BELLS. Copyright, 1878, by C. E. Ditson & Co. 
Like a dream ye come to cheer me, 'Round me echoed soft and low; Still your mem'ries linger near me, Chiming bells of long ago. Sweetly fall your silv'ry numbers Down the still and fragrant air; "Wake my soul from gentle slumbers, List'ning to your echoes fair. Friends and hopes of happy childhood Blest me in their purest glow; Softly rang o'er grave and wildwood Chiming bells of long ago. 
Chorus. Sweet chiming bells, sweet chiming bells, Ye murmur soft and low; Sweet chiming bells, sweet chiming bells, Sweet bells of long ago. 
Happy visions rose before me, Brightest that my heart could know; Still your spell is ling'ring near me, Chiming bells of long ago. Sweetly now your notes are falling O'er my heart so sad and lone; Mem'ry from the past is calling Dreams that once I called my own. Visions of my dear ones only Bless me now at evening's glow; Oh, ye cheer my life so lonely, Chiming bells of long ago.-Chorus.
