Oh, bells, today let warfare cease,
Ring out this birthday of the King,
And tell us of that glorious
When Christ was in manger born,
And wise men came from lands afar,
Led by the glory of the star
That heralded his birth, to pay
Meet tribute that first Christmas Day.
While angels sang o'er Bethlehems hill,
"Be Peace on earth, to men Good WILL.
Ring happy bells, DER plain and hill
Ring loud, ring clear, ring sweet, and fill
The souls of those who pause to hear
With reverent thought and Christmas cheer
Swing wide the hearts closed door, and say
"Come in!-all men are kin today
Come income in Clasp hands, and break
The bread of friendship for the sake
Of Him who came to earth to find
His brothers in all humankind"
Ring, happy bells, the earth around, l.
And girdle it with gladdest sound,
And while we sing His birthday in,
Let Christ-and Christ is love-begin
His reigh of peace, and men shall say,
"Ths is indeed Christmas day!''
Your hand my brother! Lo afar
Behold the radiant Bethlehem star
And harlx!-the angels singing still,
''Peace on earth, to men Good WILL
