A Service Hymn Book #d120
1 Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
2 Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narr'wing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
4 Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Amen.
