The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2241

2241. Hear the Chiming Easter Bells

1. Hear the chiming Easter bells,
Their joyous music ringing;
Hear the children’s happy voices,
Easter carols singing.

Refrain
Ringing, ringing, singing, singing,
Easter bells and happy voices;
Christ arose on Easter day,
And all the world rejoices,
And all the world rejoices.

2. Angels came from Heav’n above
To tell the wondrous story:
"Christ is risen from the dead,
The Lord of life and glory." [Refrain]

3. "Seek Him not among the dead,
The grave is not His prison;
Go and His disciples tell,
That Christ the Lord is risen." [Refrain]

4. Christ the Lord is ris’n today,
Salvation to us bringing;
Easter bells, ring out your chimes,
While voices glad are singing.
