Ring the Joy-Bells, Christ Has Risen

Ring the joy-bells

Christ has ris­en

He who died in hu­man pain

From the bond­age of His pri­son

Breaks

to glad­den earth again.

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Jesus comes on earth to reign;

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Jesus comes on earth to reign.

Ring the joy-bells of the Sab­bath

Blessèd day when He arose

As the con­quer­or

in tri­umph

Death and sin His van­quished foes.

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Till the day of life shall close;

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Till the day of life shall close.

Ring the joy-bells

loud and glee­ful

Sound aloud their notes of peace

Fill the world with their vi­bra­tions

Till the strife of earth shall cease.

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Let their notes be notes of peace

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Let their notes be notes of peace.

Ring the joy-bells

saints in glo­ry;

Listen to the glad re­frain

Ringing forth the old­en story

How the Christ is born again.

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Jesus in our hearts shall reign;

Ring the joy-bells

ring the joy-bells

Jesus in our hearts shall reign.
