| Tune: | [On mountains height, by peaceful shores] |
| Composer: | Geo. C. Hugg |
1 On mountains height, by peaceful shores,
O’er sunny meads, in shaded dells:—
Awake, your sacred echoes, wake,
Ring out your chimes, sweet Easter bells!
Refrain:
Ring, Easter bells,
Sweet Easter bells,
Your music tells
Of Him who laid death’s reign aside
Who leads to life that shall abide.
2 Let humble fane and lofty dome
Each answer each in tuneful swells:
O’er every temple to His praise,
Ring loud and clear, sweet Easter bells! [Refrain]
3 The orb of day his course pursues,
And in his path all shade dispels:—
With him encircling earth around—
Ring out, ring out sweet Easter bells! [Refrain]
4 Sweet Easter bells, glad Easter bells
Your liquid melody foretells
That morn when death itself shall die,
And heaven ring sweet Easter bells! [Refrain]
