8890. Easter Bells

1 Ring out, oh, happy Easter bells,
Fill earth and air with noisy swells,
And many tuneful lay;
Afar and near let songs of cheer,
In carols sweet the joy repeat
Of resurrection day.

Refrain:
Ring, sweet bells, oh, Easter bells,
Oh, happy bells, then ring, sweet bells,
Ring out, oh, happy bells.

2 Ring out, oh, happy Easter bells,
Your cheerful voice of joy impels
The human heart to praise;
Your merry rhyme of clang and chime,
With holy fire our souls inspire,
A sacrifice to raise. [Refrain]

3 Ring out, oh happy Easter bells,
To all the world your music tells
Of fairer things above;
Our songs of joy we will employ,
To praise His name and wide proclaim
The wonders of His love. [Refrain]
