1 Sweet bells, ring on your Christmas song,
The old, old story telling,
Of angels bright on plains of light,
And heav’nly chorus swelling.

Refrain:
Ring on, ring on,
Ye blessèd Christmas bells ring on;
Spread forth the news that Christ is born
On this sweet Christmas morn.

2 Ring "peace on earth, good will to men,"
Dear Dayspring of salvation;
Ring near and far, o’er moor and fen,
Ring joy to every nation. [Refrain]

3 Ring Christ is born, on this sweet morn,
A babe in lowly manger;
While angel throng, with song upborne,
Proclaim the newborn Stranger. [Refrain]

4 Ring out salvation full and free,
To every clime and nation,
Ring out the news to land and sea,
Glad tidings of salvation. [Refrain]
