Ring Out, Ring Out, O Christmas Bells Lyrics

1. Ring out, ring out, O Christmas bells!
A tale of joy your music tells;
A Saviour King was born today
To rule the hearts of men for aye.

[Chorus]
For this we join to swell the strain,
The angels sang o'er Judah's plain!
Glory to God, good will to men,
Shall rise and fill the heavens again.

2. O Lord of lords, and King of kings,
Sweet peace and joy Thy presence brings;
We know the Father loves us well
To rescue thus our souls from hell. [Chorus]

3. But who can measure all the love
That brought Thee from Thy throne above,
With us to live, for us to die,
That we might reign with Thee on high. [Chorus]

4. Dear Saviour, Elder, Brother, Friend,
Abide with us till life shall end;
And then, when death shall set us free,
Within the kingdom won by Thee.

[Chorus]
Earth's ransomed ones shall swell the strain,
"All worthy is the Lamb once slain,
Honour and glory to receive
From all created thins that breathe."
