114. Easter Time

1 Ring, happy bells, at Easter time,
The world is glad to hear your chimes;
Across wide fields of melting snow
The winds of summer gently blow.
O! Ring sweet bells of Easter time,
The birds and stream repeat the chime,
At Easter time, at Easter time,
At Easter time.

2 Ring, happy bells at Easter time,
The world takes up your chant sublime—
“The Lord is ris’n;” the night of fear
Has passed away and heav’n draws near:
O! Ring sweet bells of Easter time,
We breathe the air of that blest clime
At Easter time, at Easter time,
At Easter time.

3 Ring, happy bells of Easter time,
Our happy hearts give back your chime;
The Lord is ris’n, we die no more,
He opens wide the heav’nly door;
O! Ring sweet bells, at Easter time,
He meets us, while to Him we climb,
At Easter time, at Easter time,
At Easter time.
