in the old church tower in the old church tower in the old church tower hangs the bell and above it on the vane in the sunshine and the rain cut in gold st peter stands with the keys in his clasped hands and all is well in the old church tower hangs the bell you can hear its great heart beat ah so loud and wild and sweet as the parson says a prayer over wedded lovers there and all is well in the old church-tower hangs the bell deep and solemn hark again ah what passion and what pain with her hands upon her breast some poor soul has gone to rest where all is well in the old church-tower hangs the bell an old friend that seems to know all our joys and all our woe it is glad when we are wed it is sad when we are dead and all is well this recording is in the public domain
