1 Ring, ring the bells, the sweet gospel bells,
Echo their music o’er land and sea,
Jesus has risen the lost to save;
Ring to the world the victory.

Refrain:
Ring, ring the bells,
Ring, ring the bells,
O what joy to the world your sweet music tells!
Jesus has risen the lost to save!
Ring, ring the bells, the gospel bells.

2 Ring, ring the bells, the sweet gospel bells,
Jesus has risen to die no more;
Earth, from her bondage of sin is free;
Ring out the news from shore to shore. [Refrain]

3 Ring, ring the bells, the sweet gospel bells;
Let hill and valley with praises ring;
Jesus has broken the bars of death;
Crown Him, O crown Him, Savior, King. [Refrain]
