The True Easter

Representative Text

1 Ring on, ring on, ye bells,
Peal forth a gladsome sound,
Jesus, the victor lives today,
His name with honors crown’d.

Refrain:
Ring, ring,
Ring, ring on,
A joyful anthem raise,
Ring on, ring on, ye bells,
Till earth is full of praise.

2 Ring on, ring on, ye bells,
Your silv’ry tones ascend,
Mingling with strains of sweet perfume,
Where flow’rs and music blend. [Refrain]

3 Ring on, ring on, ye bells,
Till dawns the glorious day,
Earth join with heav’n one song shall sing,
And chant one common lay. [Refrain]

4 Ring on, ring on, ye bells,
Your tones of praise divine,
Bursting in one triumphant song,
Shall be true Easter sing. [Refrain]
