O’er the earth a hap­py song is ring­ing,
Far and wide the mu­sic swells;
Joy and glad­ness un­to all ’tis bring­ing;
Sweet the mu­sic of the bells.

Refrain

Ring, sweet bells, ring sweet bells,
Chime in glad­ness, ban­ish sad­ness;
Ring, sweet bells, ring sweet bells!
Tell of the Sav­ior born.

Join the chor­us, hap­py hearts and voic­es,
Welcome in this bless­èd morn;
’Tis the day when all the world re­joic­es;
Christ in Beth­le­hem is born.

Refrain

Angel voic­es chant the Christ­mas sto­ry,
Joining in the glad re­frain,
Singing Glory in the high­est, glo­ry,
Peace on earth, good will to men.
