Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16432 First Line: Ring with joy and gladness Refrain First Line: Ring, O ring with gladness Lyrics: 1 Ring with joy and gladness
The merry Christmas bell;
Let its tuneful echo
The sacred story tell!
How the lonely shepherds,
Upon the hills at night,
Heard the angel message,
And saw the holy light.
Ring, O ring with gladness,
Ye merry Christmas bells!
For we love the story
Thy joyous music tells!
Refrain:
Ring, O ring with gladness,
Ye merry Christmas bells!
Ring, O ring, with gladness,
Ye merry Christmas bells!
Ye merry Christmas bells!
Ye merry Christmas bells!
Christmas bells! Christmas bells!
2 Ring the bells with gladness,
But ring them softly now;
See the wondering Magi
Before the manger bow;
Where the King of Glory,
The Dayspring from the skies,
Christ, the blessèd Savior,
A helpless infant lies.
Ring, O ring with gladness,
Ye merry Christmas bells!
For we love the story
Thy joyous music tells! [Refrain]
3 Ring the bells with gladness,
For Jesus came to save;
He for guilty sinners
The ransom freely gave;
On this merry Christmas,
While joyfully we sing;
As a humble tribute,
Our hearts to Him we bring.
Ring, O ring with gladness,
Ye merry Christmas bells!
For we love the story
Thy joyous music tells! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ring with joy and gladness]
