Christmas Bells

Author: Aldine Silliman Kieffer Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Happy Christmas bells are ringing Refrain First Line: Ring, sweet bells; oh, ring again! Lyrics: 1 Happy Christmas bells are ringing, Everywhere, everywhere; Merry Christmas bells are ringing Upon the wintry air; Telling of the love of God’s dear Son, How He came from Heav’n to earth, Ringing in the morning, once again, Of our dear Savior’s birth. Refrain: Ring, sweet bells; oh, ring again! Pealing out your gladsome strain! Happy Christmas bells, peal on, Ringing gladness everywhere. 2 Happy Christmas bells, your chiming Wakens hopes bright with love; Tenderly your music tells us Of that sweet home above; Hopefully we look to that sweet home, Far removed from care and sin, Longing for the bells of Heav’n to ring A sweeter Christmas in. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Happy Christmas bells are ringing] Text Sources: New Melodies of Praise (Singers Glen, VA: Ruebush-Kieffer, 1877)
