Christmas Bells (Brine)

Ring out! ring out

ye Christ­mas bells

Ring out from tower and stee­ple

And let your sto­ry tra­vel far and near

To all earth’s wait­ing peo­ple.

Ring out for peace through­out the land

Ring for good will to na­tions.

Ring for the glo­ry of our Lord

And for His grand cre­ations.

Ring heart to heart and hand to hand

On this bright day of glad­ness;

Let smiles for­ev­er dry the bit­ter tears

On eyes which weep for sad­ness.

Oh! mer­ry bells of Christ­mas­tide

How ma­ny hearts are sing­ing

The hap­py song of our dear Christ

Whose prais­es you are ring­ing.

Oh

ring and ring! nor wea­ry grow

Of ju­bi­la­tion tell­ing.

For hearts are glad­ly keep­ing time with you

Where peace

good will are dwell­ing.

Far may your mes­sage spread

and may

The world take up the sto­ry

Till ev­ery hu­man soul give praise

To Him who dwells in glo­ry.
