Christ Chapel, also known as The Swedish Church, will again be featured on Galveston’s Sacred Places Tour sponsored by the Galveston Historic Foundation on 8/6/16
Ring Out, Wild Bells, to the Wild Sky
There is something of the marvelous in the hearing of the Tower Bell when it rings out its song into the skies!
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, …
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
These lines are from a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, published in 1850.
Sacred Places Tour
Thanks to everyone who came to visit on the Sacred Places Tour! And, thanks to our awesome volunteers who made it possible! This was our first time to return to the tour since Ike in 2008. There were so many guests and so many wonderful words of encouragement… Among the many comments that day…
“I feel such peace here.” “Those are the prettiest windows I have ever seen!” “I feel at home here.” “This was the highlight of the tour!”
You all were awesome! Thank you for coming and enjoying this beautiful historic chapel with us!
