Easter Bells (Pettingell)

Ring

bells

ring out the sto­ry

Of our ris­en Lord and king;

He hath de­spoiled the spoil­er

Gladly now His prais­es ring.

Ring! ring! East­er bells!

Ring! ring! East­er bells!

Ring! ring!

Sweetest prais­es to our ris­en king;

Ring! ring! East­er bells!

Ring! ring! ring! ring!

Praises to our ris­en king!

Ring

bells

in joy­ous chor­us

Give the wait­ing na­tions cheer;

Join all our hearts and voic­es

Christ is ris­en

do not fear.

Ring

bells your sweet­est mu­sic

Christ our king as­cends on high;

Again in clouds He com­eth

Jesus lives

and death shall die.

Ring

bells

He ev­er liv­eth

Lives and reigns with God ab­ove;

Ring loud and clear His tri­umphs

God is mer­cy

God is love.
