Ring, Ye Joyous Easter Bells

lyricist: Mary Smith, 1917
Composer: Bentley Ackley

Ring

again ye joy-bells

in your glad­some chime

Tell the bless­èd sto­ry o’er and o’er;

How the Lord of glo­ry rose at East­er time

And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Ring

O ring

joy­ous East­er bells;

Every note of Je­sus’ tri­umph tells;

Ring

O ring; sound from shore to shore

Christ arose and liv­eth ev­er­more.

Ring

again ye joy-bells

in your sweet re­frain

Sounding Je­sus’ prais­es o’er and o’er;

Telling how in pow’r He burst death’s migh­ty chain

And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Ring

again ye joy-bells

in your sil­ve­ry peal

Whisp’ring of the love that Je­sus bore;

Love that Cal­v’ry’s mount alone could ne’er re­veal

And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Ring

again ye joy-bells

in your hap­py tones

Joy the age-long pro­mise held in store;

His tri­umph­ant king­ship ev­en death now owns

And He liv­eth eve­rmore.
