The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Out on his ship where the white foam flies
Out where the breakers roar
A sailor cries to the angry skies
And the bells on the distant shore
And his message glad and true
Rings out o’er the ocean blue
Chorus
Bells of the sea, are you ringing for me
Ringing and singing the old melody?
Somewhere tonight on the rolling foam
Someone is longing for sweetheart and home
Bells of the sea, Will you tell her for me
My love is all that a love ought to be?
For love that is true never knows a doubt
Bells of the sea ring out
Bells of the sea ring out
- Safe in the harbor of home sweet home
Fond lovers meet again
The soft winds croon to the golden moon
Of a love that was not in vain
And the moonlit waves repeat
The song of a joy complete
Sung here by Fred Feild:
