The Voice of Praise ‎#213

213. Hear the Bells

1 In the sky the stars are shining,
Bright and fair, bright and fair,
On a manger bed reclining,
See the world's Redeemer there.

Chorus:
Hear the bells of heaven ringing,
Hear the hosts of angels singing,
Joyful news to earth they're bringing,
Of a Saviour born,
O'er the hills the dawn is creeping,
While the angels watch are keeping,
O'er the Saviour who is keeping,
On this holy morn.

2 Kneel before the King of glory,
On this morn, happy morn,
Then repeat to all the story,
Of a wondrous Saviour born. [Chorus]

3 Unto him who brings salvation,
We will sing, ever sing,
Bear the news to ev'ry nation,
Jesus is our Lord and King. [Chorus]
