==Lyrics==
Chorus: Olim, olim, Deus accelere (Someday, someday, God speed)
Hoc sæculum splendium (This bright millennium)
Accelere fiat venire olim (Let it come someday)
Congregation: Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the Bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the Bells of Notre Dame
Phoebus: To the big bells as loud as the thunder
Congregation: To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the Bells
The Bells of Notre Dame
Long years ago did this story begin
in this place called Notre Dame
Two orphan brothers were both taken in
by the Grace of Notre Dame
Frollo: Claude, the older who cared for his brother
Jehan: Young Jehan, full of beauty and charm
Both: And they lived and they grew
And awoke to the music of Bells
The Bells of Notre Dame
Chorus: Kyrie, Eléison (Lord, have mercy)
Frollo: Oh dear brother
Meet these arches and this Sacred dome
Chorus: Kyrie, Eléison (Lord, have mercy)
Frollo: We are Blessed to find our
Sanctuary and our home.
Congregation: Righteous Claude Frollo 
Was ever more drawn 
Like a son to Notre Dame
Not like his profligate brother Jehan
Who'd have none of Notre Dame
Though as brothers they loved one another
Frollo watched in despair and alarm
As Jehan who grew wild 
And defied and defiled
All the Laws
The Laws of Notre Dame
Chorus: Kyrie, Eléison (Lord, have mercy)
Father Dupin: You must leave, Jehan, 
This holy refuge where you've dwelled
Jehan: Leave? But Father—
Father Dupin: Sorry Claude, but I've no choice
Your brother is expelled
Congregation: And Frollo didn't hear from his brother for several years. Meanwhile…
Frollo was acsended 
Uncommonly fast through the ranks of Notre Dame
Till he was named the Archdeacon at last
And gave thanks to Notre Dame
And then one doleful day got a message
Frollo:
And the name that it bore was "Jehan"
Congregation:
And concealing his face 
Frollo strolled to a place
Far away…
Away from Notre Dame
Frollo: Jehan! …Let me take you back. I'll bring you home.
Brother dearest, come with me
Where we will find a remedy
And Notre Dame once more will be
Your Sanctuary
Healing you will be my goal
Not just your body, but your soul
We’ll be together in our Holy Sanctuary
Jehan: Enough, Claude! It's too late for me anyway. But if you have truly discovered charity at this late date, there is someone you can help.
Frollo: A baby? Yours? A…a monster! It's God's punishment on you! The wicked shall not go unpunished!
Jehan: I should have known! I was a fool to think you'd look after him!
Frollo: Look after him? Me?
Jehan: There is no one else! Take him…if you can find anymore heart.
Frollo: Jehan? Jehan?!
Chorus: Dies iræ, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet sæclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Kyrie, Eléison (Lord, have mercy)
Congregation: And the Saints regarded Frollo
From their stone façade
Chorus: Kyrie, Eléison (Lord, have mercy)
Congregation: And he felt their gaze
As if it were the Eyes of God
Frollo: O Lord, You've sent me a test. This child is my cross to bear. I may not have saved my brother, but I will save this… thing.
See this loathesome creature
From whom lesser men would flee
I will keep and care for him
And teach him at my knee
To think like me
Congregation: And Frollo gave the child a name. A cruel name that means half-formed…
Frollo: Quasimodo!
Congregation: Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the Bells of Notre Dame
Quasimodo: What makes a monster and what makes a man?
Congregation: What makes a monster and what makes a man?
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells of Notre Dame!
