Ring Out, Merry Bells

Ring out

mer­ry bells in the stee­ple

Sing loud

hap­py voices

to­night.

And join with each kin­dred and peo­ple

In an­thems of praise and de­light!

Good will from the Fa­ther ab­ove

Good will to His child­ren be­low!

How glad was the morn

When the Sav­ior was born

To ran­som our souls by His love!

Oh

na­tions that wait for the mor­row

Rejoice! for the dawn is at hand!

Oh

cap­tives who pine in your sor­rows

The Sav­ior shall sev­er your bands!

The eyes of the blind shall be op­ened

The King in His beau­ty to see;

The tongue of the dumb shall be loos­ened

To ut­ter its prais­es to Thee!

Ring out

mer­ry bells in the stee­ple

Ring loud

hap­py voic­es

to­night!

And join with each kin­dred and peo­ple

In an­thems of praise and de­light!
