Now All the Bells Are Ringing

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Now all the bells are ring­ing

To wel­come East­er day

And we with joy are sing­ing

Our car­ol sweet and gay;

For Je­sus hath aris­en

From Jo­seph’s roc­ky cave

Hath burst His three days’ pri­son

And tri­umphed o’er the grave.

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

O hast­en we to meet Him

With our com­pan­ions dear

With love and awe to greet Him

As He is draw­ing near;

Of old His friends were bid­den

To haste to Ga­li­lee;

Still in His Church

all glo­ri­ous

Our ris­en Lord will be.

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Still

Je­sus! we ad­ore Thee

With faith which may not fail;

Still as we kneel be­fore Thee

We hear Thee say

All hail!

Thou

who art now des­cend­ing

To raise us up to Thee

An East­er­tide un­end­ing

Grant us in Heav’n to see.

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
