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.
