The Chimes I Heard Today
Lyrics by Thomas Cleveland Lane
Music by Richard deCosta

A day like any other day,
A dismal one, I want to say.
A day when all joy seems to have flown away.
Is misery to be my dole?
But what now do I hear within my soul?

They sing to me in lovely tones,
I feel it in my flesh and bones,
No longer will we be alone,
Gone the dark days of the past.
Gone the void, so dark and vast.
Emmanuel has come at last

CHORUS
I hear the chimes
So many times,
They ring out loud, so clear in my ear.
But they don’t sound in just my ear,
But deep in the hearts of all gathered here.

And as the chimes so sweetly ring,
Come, let us all rejoice and sing,
And hearken to the hope that they bring.

We wonder what that may allow,
If our Savior’s with us now.
We’ll know Him someday, 
We’ll know Him somehow.

CHORUS
