9204. The Easter Bells

1 The Easter bells are ringing,
A message sweet and low—
As to and fro they’re swinging;
From out the long ago.

Refrain:
Chiming bells are ringing,
Ringing, ringing,
Chiming bells are ringing,
Ringing sweet and clear;
Chiming bells are ringing,
Ringing, ringing,
Chiming bells, chiming bells,
Ringing sweet and clear.

2 The silvery notes far swelling,
Fall sweetly on my ear
As once again they’re telling,
The story ever dear. [Refrain]

3 Now softly, softly dying,
In silence drifts away,
The wondrous news so blessèd,
"The Lord arose today." [Refrain]
