14192. Peal Forth Your Joyous Music

1 Peal forth your joyous music,
O chiming bells, sweet Christmas bells!
The world today rejoices,
My heart with rapture swells.
In lofty strains repeat the song
The angels sang over Bethl’hem’s plain,
Glory and praise to God on high,
And peace, goodwill to men!

Refrain:
Peal forth your joyous music,
O chiming bells, sweet Christmas bells!
The world today rejoices,
My heart with rapture swells.

2 We join the angels’ chorus,
With heart and voice our tribute bring;
Let all around us echo
Our happy caroling.
The world today keeps festival,
For, once again this Christmas morn,
The blessèd Child of Bethlehem,
Within our hearts is born. [Refrain]
