Merry Christmas Bells

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]
