13496. Easter Bells

1 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Pealing forth the message
Of a risen king;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
With your music all the world shall ring.

Refrain:
To and fro they swing in merry chime,
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Tell the story of the Easter time,
O what gladness your music tells.

2 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Now the world is free from
Terror of the tomb;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Jesus, risen, drives away its gloom. [Refrain]

3 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Tell the story of a
Life with Christ on high;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Tell that Jesus lives, no more to die. [Refrain]

4 Easter bells, Easter bells,
Ring a promise of a
Life beyond the tomb;
Easter bells, joyous bells,
Jesus, risen, has dispelled all gloom. [Refrain]
