Lyrics

Bells of East­er, sweet­ly ring,
Christ is King, Christ is King;
With your sil­ve­ry voic­es say,
Christ arose to­day!

Refrain

Ring our pre­cious song anew!
Ring your sto­ry sweet and true,
Bells of East­er, ring and say,
Christ arose to­day!

Ring the word the an­gel gives,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives!
Ring again that hap­py lay,
Christ arose to­day!

Refrain

Ring un­til the whole world knows,
Christ arose, Christ arose!
Send the tid­ings far away,
Christ arose to­day!
