Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
The bells ring out at Christmas time
Their message loud and clear;
Our hearts are stirred as on the air
The joyful sound we hear.
VERSE 2
Thanks be to God since all may learn
The bells' exultant theme;
The Babe of Bethlehem was born
This lost world to redeem.
VERSE 3
Glad message of the Christmas bells
Of God whose name is love!
Oh, may this music all our days
Our hope and comfort prove!
CHORUS
Sweet chiming Christmas bells;
They cheer us on our heav'nward way,
Sweet chiming bells,
They cheer us on our heav'nward way,
Sweet chiming bells.
