Easter Bells (Akers)

O the East­er bells are glad­ly ring­ing

Let the whole world join the hap­py lay

Let the hills and vales break forth in sing­ing

Christ

the Lord of Life

is ris’n to­day.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Let the whole world join the hap­py lay

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Christ

the Lord of Life

is ris’n to­day.

O the East­er bells are glad­ly ring­ing

Hear the shouts along the King’s high­way;

Songs of praise the child­ren

too

are sing­ing

Christ

the Lord of Life

is ris’n to­day.

O the East­er bells are glad­ly ring­ing

For the night of death has passed away

Lo! the gates of morn are op­en swing­ing

Christ

the Lord of Life

is ris’n to­day.
