1 Chime out, ye bells of beauty,
And echo far and wide,
The blessèd joyful tidings,
’Tis merry Eastertide.

Refrain:
Ring, ring your sweetest music,
With merry music ring,
Till every chime proclaim it,
The Lord, the risen King.

2 Chime out, ye bells of glory,
With love in every tone,
And let your joyful pealing
Ascend to yonder throne. [Refrain]

3 Chime out, ye bells of mercy,
Christ lives, the Crucified,
He lives, our dear Redeemer,
Proclaim it far and wide. [Refrain]

4 Chime out, ye bells of beauty,
And ring with power today,
The tidings of salvation,
Till all the call obey. [Refrain]
