Ring On, Ye Bells

Ring

mer­ry bells

this day is born a king;

To the wait­ing shep­herds an­gels sing;

With gifts of love they jour­ney from afar

Guided to the man­ger by the star.

Ring on

ye bells

ye mer­ry bells

Let sweet­est an­thems fill each heart with joy to­day;

Ring on

ye bells

ye mer­ry bells

Ring out the mes­sage clear

Let all the na­tions hear

Thy mes­sage brings to all good cheer

This hap­py Christ­mas Day.

Ring

bells of Christ­mas! Mer­ri­ly ye chime

Send your notes of joy to ev­ery clime.

Drive out the dark­ness

set the bur­dened free

Let the land re­sound with songs of glee.

Ring on

ye bells

there’s mu­sic ev­ery­where

In thy mer­ry notes we’ll lose our care;

Free from all sor­row

hearts so light and gay

Join we in thy praise

this Christ­mas day.
