Ring out, ye bells of Christmas.

Peal joy loud and clear.

Exaltation is abounding

In promise, there and here.

Ring praise, ye bells of Christmas.

The Son, who walked the earth,

Brings the lighted torch to shine

And recount His holy birth.

Ring hope, ye bells of Christmas.

Let all the nations know

Those who walk upon His path

Are blessed where'er they go.

Ring love, ye bells of Christmas.

Make new the battered soul.

Bring forth the holy Gospel

To recount the birth of old.
