Soft the Bells Are Ringing

Soft and sweet the bells are ring­ing

From the cha­pel old and gray;

Sweet and soft the child­ren sing­ing

Christ the Lord arose to­day.

Sweetly

soft­ly sounds the an­them

For the stone is rolled away;

Glory

hon­or

give to Je­sus

On this Re­sur­rect­ion day.

Sweeter far than earth­ly mu­sic

Since the Christ­mas me­lo­dy

Is this song of East­er glo­ry

This glad psalm of vic­to­ry.

Love’s re­deem­ing work is fin­ished

Fought the fight

the vic­to­ry won;

Glory

glo­ry in the high­est

To the Fa­ther and the Son.
