Lyrics

Ring the Christ­mas bells again,
Joy and peace their notes pro­claim;
Happiness to all man­kind,
Blessèd hope in Je­sus’ name.

Refrain

Ring the bells, ring the bells,
Tell the sto­ry, old and true;
Ring the bells, ring the bells,
Tell the sto­ry, ev­er new.

Sing once more the an­gels’ song,
Raise again the heav’n­ly strain,
Let the world the glad news hear,
Peace on earth, good will to men.

Refrain

Tell again the sto­ry old,
Old, yet ev­er new and sweet,
Many years has it been told,
Ages shall its joys re­peat.
