Lyrics

illustration

Now all the bells of East­er ring,
Their voic­es seem to say,
Come, ce­le­brate the wond­rous thing
That God has wrought to­day!

Refrain

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let the East­er an­them ring;
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!
Glory to our ris­en king.

For Je­sus Christ has ris’n to­day,
To save and bless His own,
And all the faith­ful hom­age pay,
Before His al­tar throne.

Refrain

And we, with all who love Him well,
Our joy­ful hymns will raise,
For child­ren may the chor­us swell,
Of thank­ful­ness and praise.

Refrain

Now all the bells of East­er ring;
With haste the call ob­ey;
For all the Church ado­res her king
Upon His fest­al day.
