Ring the Bells (Ellsworth)

Go

pro­claim it to the peo­ple

Let the glo­ri­ous tid­ings fly!

From the grave our Lord has ris­en

Nevermore shall Je­sus die!

We re­ceived the joy­ful mes­sage

Borne up­on the morn­ing air;

Tell

O tell it to the peo­ple

Let them all the glad­ness share.

Ring

ring the bells!

Ring

O ring the bells!

Go

pro­claim the joy­ful tid­ings

Christ

the Lord

is sure­ly ris­en;

Ring

O ring the bells!

Ring

O ring the bells!

Go

pro­claim it to the peo­ple

Christ has con­quered ev­ery foe

Burst the bars of death asun­der

He de­feat shall nev­er know;

Sin with all its shame is hid­ing

Death re­ceives a fa­tal blow

That He is the pro­mised Sav­ior

All the world shall quick­ly know.

Lo! a light has burst up­on us

See the dark­ness flee away;

In the bright­ness of His ris­ing

Cometh now the pro­mised day;

Yes

the glo­ri­ous sun ap­pear­eth

Hope and joy for Is­ra­el;

Wake the na­tions at His ris­ing

Go ye forth the news to tell.
