Ring Out the Bells

Composer: James Jelley, 1899

Ring out the bells

ye mer­ry

mer­ry bells

Peal forth a wel­come as we sing;

We hail this day

glad me­mo­ries they tell

When Christ was born

the Sav­ior King.

Ring out the bells

the mer­ry Christ­mas bells

Peal forth in strains this na­tal morn

The joy they bring

their mer­ry chim­ing tell

This hal­lowed day when Christ was born.

Ring out the bells

a wel­come mes­sage bring

To old and young this na­tal morn;

Herald the news on fast­est

fleet­est wing

This hal­lowed day when Christ was born.

Ring out the bells

pro­claim with one ac­cord

The east­ern star

to guide aright;

The wise men came and found the ho­ly Child;

Their hom­age pay

oh

won­drous sight.
