1 Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your gladsome chime,
Tell the blessèd story o’er and o’er;
How the Lord of glory rose at Easter time,
And He liveth evermore.
Refrain:
Ring, O ring, joyous Easter bells;
Every note of Jesus’ triumph tells;
Ring, O ring; sound from shore to shore,
Christ arose and liveth evermore.
2 Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your sweet refrain,
Sounding Jesus’ praises o’er and o’er;
Telling how in pow’r He burst death’s mighty chain,
And He liveth evermore. [Refrain]
3 Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your silvery peal,
Whisp’ring of the love that Jesus bore;
Love that Calv’ry’s mount alone could ne’er reveal,
And He liveth evermore. [Refrain]
4 Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your happy tones,
Joy the age-long promise held in store;
His triumphant kingship even death now owns,
And He liveth evermore. [Refrain]
