Ye bells, ye bells, ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas time.
Ring out, ring out, ring out again,
A wildly joyous chime;
For unto us a Child is born,
Our Hope and light to be;
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The Prince of Peace is He.
Ye bells, ye happy Christmas bells,
Ye bells of Christmas-tide.
Ring, ring, ring again
O'er earth afar and wide.
Ye bells, Ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas tide.
Ring out, ring out, ye happy Christmas bells.
Ye bells, ye bells, ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas day.
Ring out, ring out, ring out again,
A sweet and gladsome lay.
Our King shall reign in righteousness,
And rule in equity;
The wilderness and solitude
A fruitful field shall be.
Ye bells, ye happy Christmas bells,
Ye bells of Christmas-tide.
Ring, ring, ring again
O'er earth afar and wide.
Ye bells, Ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas tide.
Ring out, ring out, ye happy Christmas bells.
Ye bells, ye bells, ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas tide.
Ring out, ring out, ring out again,
O'er earth afar and wide.
The Saviour promised us of old,
The Rod of Jesse's stem,
Whom kings and prophets long'd to see
Is born in Bethlehem.
Ye bells, ye happy Christmas bells,
Ye bells of Christmas-tide.
Ring, ring, ring again
O'er earth afar and wide.
Ye bells, Ye happy bells,
Ye bells of Christmas tide.
Ring out, ring out, ye happy Christmas bells.

Girls and boys - Leave your toys - Make no noise
Kneel at his crib and worship him
At thy shrine - Child divine - We are thine
Our Savior's here
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
All must draw near
On that day - Far away - Jesus lay
Angels were watching 'round his head
Holy Child - Mother mild - Undefiled
We sing thy praise
repeat 3 lines of chorus
Our hearts we raise
Shepherds came - At the fame - Of thy name
Angels their guide to Bethlehem
In that place - Filled with grace - Saw thy face
Stood at they door
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Love evermore
Wise men too - Haste to do - Homage new
Gold, myrrh and frankincense they bring
As 'twas said - Starlight led - To thy bed
Bending their knee
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Worshipping thee
Oh, that we - All might be - Good as he
Spotless, with God in unity
Savior dear - Ever near - With us here
Since life began
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
God head made man
Cherubim - Seraphim - Worship him
Sun, moon and stars proclaim his power
Every day - On our way - we shall say
Hallelujah
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Hallelujah
