1. Easter day has come once more, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Peal the tidings o’er and o’er, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Night and gloom have passed away, Death is ended, and decay; Jesus Christ is ris’n today; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Refrain Ring, ring, ring, merry joy-bells, ring! Sing, sing, sing, happy voices, sweetly sing! Christ arose o’er the last of foes; Glad bells, ring; happy voices, sweetly sing. 2. Spring comes smiling to the land, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Fair and pure the lilies stand, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Birds are singing clear and sweet, Blossoms spring up ’neath our feet, Heav’n bends low the earth to greet; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! [Refrain] 3. Spread the seeds of hope abroad, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Peal the triumph of the Lord, Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! Comfort every aching heart, Dry the tears of pain that start, Bid despair and grief depart; Ring, ye joy-bells, ring! [Refrain] | The Cyber Hymnal #3402 |
