Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #478 (1977) First Line: Hear, O hear the joyful bells a-ringing! Refrain First Line: Hear, O hear! He's coming back again! Lyrics: 1 Hear, O hear the joyful bells a-ringing!
They tell us that this celebrates the day when Christ was born;
When He came His great salvation bringing,
Yet but a babe in Bethlehem that happy natal morn.
Refrain:
Hear, O hear! He's coming back again!
Ring it out o'er valley hill and plain!
Spread the news: He's coming back again!
O hallelujah! Praise His name!
He' coming back again!
2 Peal, ye bells of glorious revelations,
Sound out the tidings full and clear o'er wooded land and main;
Rouse, O rouse the slumb'ring, sinful nations,
Awake them to the happy hope that Christ shall come again. [Refrain]
3 Hear, O hear the Christmas bells a-ringing;
O shall the echo call the mem'ry back to Calvary?
Shall they find us songs of glory singing,
Or rolling in the muddy tide of self-debauchery? [Refrain]
4 Hear, O hear the echo of the morning:
"Behold He comes,"the angels shout; ye faithful join the cry;
Christ the Lord, God's glory Him adorning,
Is coming to redeem His saints, behold Him, ev'ry eye. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Second Coming Scripture: James 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: A CHRISTMAS MELODY
He's Coming Back!
