Lyrics

Ring out, chim­ing bells of the morn­ing,
Your sto­ry of light and of love;
Tell un­to the earth of a Sav­ior
Descended from Hea­ven above.

Refrain

Joy, joy, Christ has come from glo­ry;
Joy, joy, let the chor­us ring;
Sing, sing, sing aloud His prais­es!
Let the earth re­ceive her king.

Ring out, chim­ing bells of the morn­ing,
The birth­day of Je­sus is here;
His com­ing fills earth with re­joic­ing,
And scat­ters each sor­row and fear.

Refrain

Ring out, chim­ing bells of the morn­ing,
Ring out with a joy­ous re­frain,
O’er hearts that await to re­ceive Him,
The Sav­ior is com­ing again.
