16920. The Easter Bells Are Ringing

1 The East­er bells are ring­ing,
A ran­somed world to greet;
The ris­en Sav­ior calls us
To wor­ship at His feet.

Refrain:
Oh! Glory, won­drous glo­ry!
All gloom is fled away;
The gates of life stand op­en,
On this, our Eas­ter day.

2 Our hearts are filled with mu­sic,
Our Eas­ter joy we bring
Unto the migh­ty Vic­tor,
Our con­qu’ror and our king. [Refrain]

3 The light of life is break­ing,
The ro­sy hues of dawn
Have chased away the sha­dows
On this bright East­er morn. [Refrain]
