Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your glad­some chime,
Tell the bless­èd sto­ry o’er and o’er;
How the Lord of glo­ry rose at East­er time,
And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Refrain

Ring, O ring, joy­ous East­er bells;
Every note of Je­sus’ tri­umph tells;
Ring, O ring; sound from shore to shore,
Christ arose and liv­eth ev­er­more.

Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your sweet re­frain,
Sounding Je­sus’ prais­es o’er and o’er;
Telling how in pow’r He burst death’s migh­ty chain,
And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Refrain

Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your sil­ve­ry peal,
Whisp’ring of the love that Je­sus bore;
Love that Cal­v’ry’s mount alone could ne’er re­veal,
And He liv­eth ev­er­more.

Refrain

Ring, again ye joy-bells, in your hap­py tones,
Joy the age-long pro­mise held in store;
His tri­um­phant king­ship ev­en death now owns,
And He liv­eth eve­rmore.

Refrain
