“The little White Chapel
Is ringing its bell
With a ring-a-ding-dong,
All day long”

“Hell's Bells ringing, my secret music…”

“Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.”

“I'm not saying alarm bells are ringing at this moment in time.”

“Of all sound of all bells… most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year.”

“Be the day never so long,
Evermore at last they ring to evensong.”

“The world is a bell that is cracked: it clatters, but does not ring out clearly.”

“Ring them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep.”

“And the sad act like lepers
They stick to the shadows
They long to ring bells of warning
To tell of their coming
So that the pure can shut their doors.”

“In the end, coming to faith remains for all a sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long been vacant.”
