Composer: | Florence W. Williams |
1 Loudly, loudly, Easter bells are ringing,
Gladly, gladly, happy voices singing,
Christ the Lord is risen,
From His gloomy prison,
Glory to His holy name;
Ringing, ringing, keep the joy bells ringing,
Gladly, gladly, voices join in singing,
Blessed tribute bringing,
Upward songs are winging,
On this happy Easter day.
2 Praise Him, praise Him, while the bells are ringing,
Glory, glory, may each heart keep singing,
Tho' the grave infold Him,
Yet it could not hold Him,
Laud and magnify His name;
Harken, harken, clear the bells are ringing,
Join them, join them, hearts and voices singing,
To the Saviour clinging,
Now with joy upspringing,
Praise Him on this Easter day.
3 Once more, once more, set the bells to ringing,
Louder, louder, may each voice keep singing,
Swell the blessed story,
Jesus lives in glory,
Blessed be His holy name;
Praise Him, praise Him, while the bells are ringing,
Glad news, glad news, ev'rywhere keep singing,
Heaven's gates are swinging,
Angels join in singing,
Praises on this Easter day.
