Ring It Out!

1 Ring it out! ring it out on ev'ry hand,
Reformation has begun.
Ring it out! ring it out through all the land;
Victory is almost won.
'Tis war to the death with wine and beer,
With ale and gin and whiskey too;
Then join in our union, never fear,
Be earnest, faithful, firm, and true.

Chorus:
Ring it out! ring it out!
Let the reign of peace begin!
Ring it out with a shout!
Temperance is bound to win!

2 Ring the bells in the East and in the West;
Reformation has begun.
All unite in the war cry do your best;
Let the work be grandly done.
Then raise up the standard, swell the song,
And press the foe on ev'ry field,
Till justice shall triumph over wrong,
Be earnest, faithful, firm, and true. [Chorus]

3 Ring it out! ring it out in ev'ry home;
Reformation has begun.
Let the young hear the call, let old age come,
Ev'ry heart should join as one.
Then labor at morn and work at noon,
Nor rest when ev'ning shadows fall;
For victory grand shall crown us soon,
And truth and right shall reign o'er all. [Chorus]
