Hear the chim­ing East­er bells,
Their joy­ous mu­sic ring­ing;
Hear the child­ren’s hap­py voices,
Easter car­ols sing­ing.

Refrain

Ringing, ring­ing, sing­ing, sing­ing,
Easter bells and hap­py voices;
Christ arose on East­er day,
And all the world re­joic­es,
And all the world re­joic­es.

Angels came from Heav’n above
To tell the won­drous story:
Christ is ris­en from the dead,
The Lord of life and glo­ry.

Refrain

Seek Him not among the dead,
The grave is not His pri­son;
Go and His dis­ci­ples tell,
That Christ the Lord is ris­en.

Refrain

Christ the Lord is ris’n to­day,
Salvation to us bring­ing;
Easter bells, ring out your chimes,
While voic­es glad are sing­ing.
