Ah! hear they are call -ing

- And so my be -lov -ed when

out, ring out for you and me.

- This song was made famous by
Bing Crosby in the film The Bells of St Mary's. The tune was
originally written by the Australian composer A. Emmett Adams
and the lyrics by Douglas Furber, when they heard the bells ringing
during 1914. It was introduced into the United States in 1917
and ever since has been the college song of the New York State
Maritime College.
