The bells, the bells,
They ring this East­er morn­ing,
The bells, the bells,
To peal a mes­sage sweet;
The bells, the bells,
Their tones, the earth ad­orn­ing,
The bells, the bells,
A ris­en king to greet.

Refrain

Hear the ring­ing and the sing­ing
Of the East­er bells;
List the rhym­ing of the chim­ing,
Happy news it swells.
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Greet the ris­en King;
The bells, the bells,
The joy­ous East­er bells.

Ring out, ring out,
While earth is filled with won­der,
Ring out, ring out,
Far o’er the mount­ain height.
Ring out, ring out,
The grave is torn asun­der;
Ring out, ring out,
Send forth the East­er light.

Refrain

Ye bells, ye bells,
O tell the Sav­ior ris­en;
Ye bells, ye bells,
O tell what an­gels say;
Ye bells, ye bells,
For brok­en is the pri­son;
Ye bells, ye bells,
The Lord arose to­day.
