Joy Bells Are Ringing

Joy bells are ring­ing

Christmas is bring­ing

Tidings of Je­sus’ birth.

Candles are gleam­ing

Gladness is stream­ing

Out ov­er all the earth.

Light is as­cend­ing

Nighttime is end­ing

Sunshine from God ap­pears.

Hope of the ag­es

Foretold by sa­ges

Comes to dis­pel all fears.

O what a trea­sure

God in His plea­sure

Lovingly gives to­day.

Grace to the low­ly

Peace

pure and ho­ly

Angels to men con­vey.

Come to the man­ger

Kindred and strang­er

Hail now the new­born King!

In ad­or­ation

With ju­bi­la­tion

Peoples and na­tions sing!

Banish all sad­ness

Fill me with glad­ness

Jesus

whom I adore!

All else may per­ish

Thee will I cher­ish

Now and for­ev­er­more!
