217. Easter Bells

1 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Pealing forth the message of a risen King;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
With your music all the world shall ring.

Chorus:
To and fro they swing in merry chime,
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Tell the story of the Easter time,
O what gladness your music tells.

2 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Now the world is free from terror of the tomb;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Jesus, risen, drives away its gloom. [Chorus]

3 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Tell the story of a life with Christ on high;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Tell that Jesus lives, no more to die. [Chorus]

4 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Ring a promise of a life beyond the tomb;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Jesus, risen, has dispelled all gloom. [Chorus]
