157. Our Little Hearts Are Happy

1 Our little hearts are happy, for Eastertide is here,
The brightest and the sweetest of all the passing year;
Oh, join with ours your voices, send out your notes of cheer,
Ye blessed Easter bells.

Refrain:
Ring and ring, peal and peal, chime, chime, chime;
Join us, bells of Easter, in each merry rhyme
Fill the earth with gladness at this blessed time,
Ye gladsome Easter bells.

2 While now with happy voices in sweet accord we sing
Glad songs of praise to Jesus, our risen Lord and King,
In every tow’r and steeple, peal cheerily and ring,
Ye blessed Easter bells. [Refrain]

3 While blossoms fair and fragrant we lay at Jesus’ feet,
And in our happy spirit receive his blessing sweet,
With voices sweet and tender, make joy in us complete,
Ye blessed Easter bells. [Refrain]
