Ring, Ye Chiming Bells

lyricist: Flora Kirkland, 1906
Composer: E. G. Snelling

Ring

ye chim­ing bells

your glad­some sto­ry

At this hap­py time

this won­drous East­er time!

Telling how the King arose in glo­ry

Ring your sweet­est chime

Your glad tri­umph­ant chime.

Ring

ye bells! ring as dawn ap­pear­eth!

Ring

oh ring

for the an­gels bright

Came to tell news that ev­er cheer­eth

All the pil­grims who seek the light.

Ever

as you chime the East­er glad­ness

Out of dis­tant years

yea

out of si­lent years

Cometh still the balm for earth­ly sad­ness

Calm for earth­ly fears

And joy for earth­ly tears.

Look! we al­most seem to see the shin­ing

Of the an­gel bright

in glo­ri­ous robes of light!

Hark! he saith

The one in death re­clin­ing

Hath aris’n in might

Aris’n in pow’r and might!
