Lyrics

Ring out the happy Easter bells,
For Christ is risen today;
Proclaim the tidings far and wide,
And raise the joyful lay.

Refrain

Ring the happy Easter bells,
Ring the bells;
Ring the happy Easter bells,
Ring the bells;
Ring the happy Easter bells,
Ring the bells;
Ring the happy Easter bells.

Ring out the happy Easter bells,
Redemption’s work is done;
The victory o’er death and sin,
Forevermore is won.

Refrain

Ring out the happy Easter bells,
Shake off the gloom of night,
And rise with Jesus this glad day,
Into the Easter light.

Refrain

Then let us with glad heart and voice
Our loudest praises sing,
To Him, the Savior of the world,
The blessèd risen King.
