Easter Bells (Gabriel)

Ring out

oh

hap­py East­er bells

Fill earth and air with noi­sy swells

And many tune­ful lay;

Afar and near let songs of cheer

In car­ols sweet the joy re­peat

Of re­sur­rect­ion day.

Ring

sweet bells

oh

East­er bells

Oh

hap­py bells

then ring

sweet bells

Ring out

oh

hap­py bells.

Ring out

oh

hap­py East­er bells

Your cheer­ful voice of joy im­pels

The hu­man heart to praise;

Your mer­ry rhyme of clang and chime

With ho­ly fire our souls in­spire

A sac­ri­fice to raise.

Ring out

oh hap­py East­er bells

To all the world your mu­sic tells

Of fair­er things above;

Our songs of joy we will em­ploy

To praise His name and wide pro­claim

The won­ders of His love.
