Ring, Happy Bells of Easter Time

Ring

hap­py bells of East­er time

The world is glad to hear your chime;

Across wide fields of melt­ing snow

The winds of sum­mer soft­ly blow

And birds and streams re­peat the chime

Of East­er time

of East­er time:

The world is glad to hear your chime;

Ring

hap­py bells of East­er time!

Ring

hap­py bells of East­er time

The world takes up your chant sub­lime;

The Lord is ris­en

the night of fear

Has passed away and Heav’n draws near:

We breathe the air of that blest clime

At East­er time

at East­er time:

Ring

hap­py bells of East­er time

Our hap­py hearts give back your chime;

The Lord is ris­en

we die no more:

He op­ens wide the heav’n­ly door;

He meets us

while to Him we climb

At East­er time

at East­er time:
