1 Listen to the bells of Easter,
Joyous is the news they bring,
By their silv’ry tones e’er wafting,
Tidings of a risen King.
Chorus:
Easter bells, let your notes of gladness grandly swell,
To the world, words of hope and comfort ever tell,
Sweetly chime, till the echo reaches far and near,
And to all comes the blessed Resurrection cheer.
2 O’er and o’er they tell the story,
Of the resurrection morn,
Pealing out the news “He liveth,”
Giving hope to hearts forlorn. [Chorus]
3 Let us, as the bells of Easter,
Lift our hearts in endless praise
To the blessed King of Glory,
For this happy day of days. [Chorus]
