Representative Text

1 Songs of joy and gladness we delight to raise
With loud exultant voices on this day of days;
And, while bells are ringing,
While the world is singing,
We, our tribute bringing,
Join the hymn of praise.

Refrain:
While the bells are ringing,
While the world is singing,
We, our tribute bringing,
Join the hymn of praise,
Together,
While the bells are ringing,
While the world is singing,
We, our tribute bringing,
Join the hymn of praise.

2 In a manger only was there room that day;
Among the poor and lowly the Redeemer lay;
There the Shepherds found Him,
There the Maji crowned Him,
As they worshipped round Him,
Christ, the Truth, the Way. [Refrain]

3 Angels sang the story over hill and plain
Of peace, good will and glory—sweet angelic strain!
Thus, while bells are ringing,
While the world is singing,
We, our tribute bringing,
Join the glad refrain. [Refrain]
