Toll the bells for Belgium, toll, toll, toll!
Land of hunger, poverty, tears and death and dole,
Land of awful agony, body, mind, and soul,
Toll the bells for Belgium, toll, toll, toll!

Peal the bells for Belgium, peal, peal, peal!
Land of life triumphant, spirits true as steel!
Land of blessed victory, glory, joy, and weal!
Peal the bells for Belgium, peal, peal, peal!
