Liland,
John Caroll Davison (b. 1843 - d. 1928, California) was a Methodist missionary. He published one of the earliest hymnals in Japan in 1874. "Ring, O Ring, Ye Chimes of Glory" was in his Kirisutokyou Seikashuu [Christian hymnal](1884), originally to the tune of BELLERMA. In Sanbika (1931), it was set to the Beethoven tune. This info is from Megumi Hara, Sanbika--sono rekishi to haikei [The Hymn--history and background] (Nihon Kirisutokyou Shuppankyoku, 1980, pp. 263-264). Unfortunately I haven't seen the English words.
