PELHAM MANOR
Ring Merrily
Author: Eliza F. Morris Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D with repeat Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Ring merrily! Ring merrily! Lyrics: 1 Ring merrily! Ring merrily!
O happy Christmas bells;
And let us hear again the tales
Your music ever tells, [repeat]
How Christian men in other days
Made feast within their halls,
Hung mistletoe and holly wreaths
Around their old oak walls;
How rich and poor knelt side by side,
At call of Christmas chimes;
And how the bonds of Christian love
Bound up the good old times.
2 Ring tenderly! Ring tenderly!
O holy Christmas bells:
For ever with your earthly peal
A heav’nly chorus swells, [repeat]
The angels, who were first to bring
The welcome news to men,
Still join with us to celebrate
The Savior’s birth again;
And some whom we have loved and lost
Sing carols with us now,
With all the old love in their hearts,
And new light on their brow.
3 Ring joyously! Ring joyously!
O blessed Christmas bells;
And show us of the future good
Your welcome chime foretells, [repeat]
We know ’twill be a mingled lot
Of pleasure, pain and strife;
That thorns will cluster round the flowers,
Along our path of life;
But ye shall sing to us of hope;
Of help, of love untold;
Reminding us of that bright star
That tips our clouds with gold.
Ring merrily! Ring merrily!
O dear old Christmas bells,
And bring all holy blessings down
From where all mercy dwells. [repeat]
Ring out your gentle messages,
As ye have done of old,
To help the weary and the sad,
The weaklings of the fold;
And tell again the cheering tale
Of Him who bore our woe;
And gave His own heart’s life and love,
For breaking hearts below. Used With Tune: PELHAM MANOR Text Sources: Home Words for Heart and Hearth by Charles Bullock (London: Home Words Publishing Office) Vol 13, No. 12, 1883

Eliza F. Morris
1821 - 1874 Author of "Ring Merrily" in The Cyber Hymnal Morris, Eliza Fanny, née Goffe, was born in London in 1821, and married in 1849 to Josiah Morris. She gained the prize for a poem on Kindness to Animals offered by the Band of Hope. Her published works are he Voice and the Reply, Worcester, 1858, and Life Lyrics. She also edited a Bible Class Hymn Book, and contributed the words to School Harmonies, published by her husband. Her hymns in common use include:—
1. Come unto Me and rest. Christ's Invitation. From The Voice and the Reply, 1858, into the 1874 Supplement to the New Congregational, in an altered form.
2. God of pity, God of grace. Lent. This hymn in Litany form appeared in Pt. ii. of The Voice and the Reply, 1858, entitled "The Prayer in the Temple." From Miller's Singers and Songs of the Church, 1869, we gather that this hymn was written on the 4th of Sept., 1857.
3. 0 Thou, blest Lamb of God. Love for and Trust in Jesus desired. From The Voice and the Reply, 1858, into the Anglican Hymn Book, 2nd ed., 1871. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder]
