Sweet bells, ring on your Christ­mas song,
The old, old story telling,
Of angels bright on plains of light,
And heav’nly chorus swelling.

Refrain

Ring on, ring on,
Ye blessèd Christ­mas bells ring on;
Spread forth the news that Christ is born
On this sweet Christ­mas morn.

Ring peace on earth, good will to men,
Dear Dayspring of sal­va­tion;
Ring near and far, o’er moor and fen,
Ring joy to every nation.

Refrain

Ring Christ is born, on this sweet morn,
A babe in lowly manger;
While angel throng, with song upborne,
Proclaim the newborn Stranger.

Refrain

Ring out sal­va­tion full and free,
To every clime and nation,
Ring out the news to land and sea,
Glad tidings of sal­va­tion.
