Christ Is Risen

Representative Text

1 Hear the joy-bells ringing, ringing,
In the far off towers swinging;
Hear the children’s voices singing,

Refrain:
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Hallelujah! Christ is risen!

2 Far and near the chimes are telling,
On each word the sweet tones dwelling,
Soft and low, then loudly swelling, [Refrain]

3 Easter morn is saying, saying,
While its chimes are softly playing
And all hearts with joy are praying, [Refrain]
