Ring, Ring the Bells, the Joyful Bells

Ring

ring the bells

the joy­ful bells

This mer­ry Christ­mas morn;

Their sweet

me­lo­di­ous music tells

The day that Christ was born.

Sweetly they sound o’er vale and glen;

Hark! how their mu­sic swells

With Peace on earth

good will to men!

O mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

Ring

ring the bells

the joy­ful bells

The bells

the mer­ry

mer­ry Christ­mas bells

Ring

ring the mer­ry Christ­mas bells.

Ring

ring the bells

the Christ­mas bells

For in their joy­ous chime

Once more on earth the chor­us swells

Of an­gel song sub­lime.

The sweet old sto­ry

ev­er new

Falls on the heart again

Refreshing as the ear­ly dew

Or the soft su­mmer rain.

Ring

ring the bells

the Christ­mas bells

Prophetic of the day

When He of whom their mu­sic tells

Shall all the na­tions sway;

Shall bless and fill and rule each heart

Shall bid all sor­rows cease

And give His own the bet­ter part

Of ev­er­last­ing peace.
