1 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.
Refrain:
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.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
