Ring out, ring out, O Christ­mas bells!
A tale of joy your mu­sic tells;
A Sav­ior king was born to­day
To rule the hearts of men for aye.

Refrain

For this we join to swell the strain
The an­gels sang o’er Ju­dah’s plain!
Glory to God, good will to men,
Shall rise and fill the heav’ns again.

O Lord of lords, and King of kings,
Sweet peace and joy Thy pre­sence brings;
We know the Fa­ther loves us well
To res­cue thus our souls from hell.

Refrain

But who can mea­sure all the love
That brought Thee from Thy throne above,
With us to live, for us to die,
That we might reign with Thee on high.

Refrain

Dear Sav­ior, el­der bro­ther, friend,
Abide with us till life shall end;
And then, when death shall set us free,
Within the king­dom won by Thee.

Refrain
