"RING CHRISTMAS BELLS"

Ring Christmas bells, merrily ring,
Tell all the world, Jesus is King,
Loudly proclaim with one accord
The happy tale, welcome the Lord

Ring Christmas bells, sound far and near,
The birthday of Jesus is here,
Herald the news to old and young,
Tell it to all in every tongue

Ring Christmas bells, toll loud and long,
Your message sweet, peal and prolong,
Come all ye people join in the singing,
Repeat the story told by the ringing,
Ring, ring, ring Christmas bells,
Ring, ring, ring Christmas bells

Loudly proclaim with one accord
The happy tale, welcome the Lord,
Ring Christmas bells, ring Christmas bells,
Merrily ring, tell all the world

Loudly proclaim with one accord,
The happy tale, welcome the Lord

Ring Christmas bells, sound far and near,
The birthday of Jesus is here,
Herald the news to old and young,
Tell it to all in every tongue

Ring, Christmas bells, toll loud and long
Your message sweet, peal and prolong,
Come all ye people join in the singing,
Repeat the story told by the ringing,
Ring, ring, ring Christmas bells,
Ring, ring, ring Christmas bells

Loudly proclaim with one accord
The happy tale, welcome the Lord,
Ring Christmas bells, ring Christmas bells,
Merrily ring, tell all the world Jesus is King

[Ring, ring, ring, ring]
