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.
