Now we hail the joy­ous chime
Of East­er joy-bells ring­ing;
Now we hail the glad­some time
When hap­py hearts are sing­ing;
When hap­py hearts are sing­ing:

Refrain

Bells oh ring, and glad hearts sing,
Tell the won­drous sto­ry,
To the world a mes­sage bring
Of the King of glo­ry.

Oft as mer­cy East­er bells
Ring out their mes­sage gold­en;
Each mea­sured chime in mu­sic tells
A sto­ry sweet and old­en;
A sto­ry sweet and old­en.

Refrain

Bells of East­er earth can know,
Sweeter mu­sic ne­ver!
Ring in glad­ness to and fro,
Oh, ring on for­ev­er!
Oh, ring on for­ev­er!

Refrain
