Christmas Carol (Pitkin)

The Christ­mas bells are ring­ing

ring­ing

ring­ing

On the air

And Christ­mas thoughts are bring­ing

bring­ing

bring­ing

Waves of prayer

Up to the great Eter­nal;

Up to the high arched dome

Into the pas­tures ver­nal

Laden with ev­er bloom.

The Christ­mas bells are ring­ing

ring­ing

ring­ing

Songs of joy

And child­ren all are join­ing

join­ing

join­ing

Sweet em­ploy;

High are their voic­es reach­ing

Blending in sweet­est song

Yes

to the Fa­ther soar­ing

Borne by the air along.

Now all the world is sing­ing

sing­ing

sing­ing

The sweet lay

And with their voic­es swell­ing

swell­ing

swell­ing

Hail the day.

Hail to our blest Re­deem­er

Who bought us with His blood

Jesus

our ris­en Sav­ior

Reigns with our Fa­ther

God.
