Easter day has come once more
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Peal the tidings o’er and o’er
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Night and gloom have passed away
Death is ended
and decay;
Jesus Christ is ris’n today;
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Ring
ring
ring
merry joy-bells
ring!
Sing
sing
sing
happy voices
sweetly sing!
Christ arose o’er the last of foes;
Glad bells
ring; happy voices
sweetly sing.
Spring comes smiling to the land
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Fair and pure the lilies stand
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Birds are singing clear and sweet
Blossoms spring up ’neath our feet
Heav’n bends low the earth to greet;
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Spread the seeds of hope abroad
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Peal the triumph of the Lord
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
Comfort every aching heart
Dry the tears of pain that start
Bid despair and grief depart;
Ring
ye joy-bells
ring!
