The bells of Heav’n are ring­ing,
Are tell­ing of the King;
Who came sal­va­tion bring­ing
And heal­ing in His wing.
He came to lift op­press­ion,
To ban­ish sin and wrong;
He came, our light, to scat­ter night,
And give to earth a song.

Refrain

Ring, ring, ring,
O ring, ye bells, ye mer­ry bells,
O ring, ring, ring,
O ring, ye bells, ye mer­ry bells,
O ring, ring, ring,
Ye Christ­mas bells, ring, ring,
Ring, O ring ye bells, ye mer­ry bells.

O ring, ye bells of Hea­ven,
Re-echo loud and long;
Let un­to men be giv­en
A new and hap­py song.
O ring aloud in glad­ness,
Let hea­ven­ly joy be known;
O earth, awake, this joy par­take,
Claim Je­sus as your own.

Refrain

O ring, ye bells of Hea­ven,
Upon this day of cheer;
O ring the glo­ri­ous tid­ings,
For Christ the King is here.
Re-echo o’er the hill­tops,
Resounding ev­ery­where;
The Sav­ior dear comes hearts to cheer:
His king­dom earth may share.
