Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDDABEB BBFCBBBBBEB BBGBHH HBBEB| When the Bells of Ys rang softly softly | A |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| Not a sound was heard in the old gray town | C |
| As the silvery tones came floating down | C |
| But life stood still with uncovered head | D |
| And doers of ill did good instead | D |
| And abroad the Peace of God was shed | D |
| When the bells aloft sang softly softly | A |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| The Silver Bells and the Golden Bells | E |
| Aloft and aloft and alow | B |
| - | |
| And still those Bells ring softly softly | B |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| Though full twelve hundred years have gone | F |
| Since the waves rolled over the old gray town | C |
| Bold men of the sea in the grip of the flow | B |
| Still hear the Bells as they pass and go | B |
| Or win to life with their hearts aglow | B |
| When the Bells below sing softly softly | B |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| The Silver Bells and the Golden Bells | E |
| Alow and alow and alow | B |
| - | |
| O the Mystical Bells they still ring softly | B |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| For the sound of their singing shall never die | G |
| In the hearts that are tuned to their melody | B |
| And down in the world's wild rush and roar | H |
| That sweeps us along to the Opening Door | H |
| - | |
| Hearts still beat high as they beat of yore | H |
| When the Bells sing softly softly softly | B |
| Soft and sweet and low | B |
| The Silver Bells and the Golden Bells | E |
| Alow and aloft and alow | B |
