Author: Birdie Bell Hymnal: The King of Kings #140 (1915) Hymnal Title: The King of Kings First Line: Ring it out in gladness, bells of Eastertide Refrain First Line: Ring it out! Ring it out! Bells of Eastertide Lyrics: 1 Ring it out in gladness, bells of Eastertide,
O’er the smiling valley, o’er the mountain side,
Where the rippling waters in their beauty glide,
Greet the blessed Easter morning.
Refrain:
Ring it out! Ring it out! Bells of Eastertide!
In the empty tomb the dreary shadows hide,
But the eastern skies with light are glorified,—
Hail the resurrection morning.
2 Ring it out, but softly, bells of Eastertide,
Once a dirge the night-winds in their sorrow sighed;
On the cross, to save us, Christ was crucified;
Crown Him King this Easter morning. [Refrain]
3 Ring it out in sweetness, bells of Eastertide,
Hail the risen Savior, Christ, the Glorified;
He who bore our sorrows, suffered, bled and died,
Rose again on Easter morning. [Refrain]
4 Ring it out in rapture, bells of Eastertide,
Sound the happy tidings thro’ the world so wide;
From the tomb the angels rolled the stone aside,
It was empty Easter morning. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Ring it out in gladness, bells of Eastertide]
