Author: Marian Collihole Hymnal: Voices United #65 (1996) Meter: 5.7.10 D Lyrics: 1 Ring a bell for peace,
for the babe born on this night,
ring a bell through the country and the town;
ring a bell for peace,
come and see the wondrous light,
ring a bell, ring it merry up and down.
2 Blow a horn for joy,
for the babe born in the hay,
blow a horn through the country and the town;
blow a horn for joy,
come and hear what people say,
blow a horn, blow it merry up and down.
3 Play a flute for hope,
for the babe now fast asleep,
play a flute through the country and the town;
play a flute for hope,
see the shepherds leave their sheep,
play a flute, play it merry up and down.
4 Beat the drum for faith,
for the babe beneath the star,
beat the drum through the country and the town;
beat the drum for faith,
come and play both near and far,
beat the drum, beat it merry up and down. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Biblical Characters Shepherds; Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Christmas; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Music and Singing Tune Title: CHESHUNT
