GOODWILL TOWARD pfl
atye Message of ilje Wils
Once again with Christmas greeting,bells, ring out your gladsome chime;
Banish sadness, woe and weeping, ring of love divine!
Ring your loudest, sweetest, truest; there are some on beds of pain,
Ring to reach them with glad tidings, Christ has come to reign!
CHORUS—
Hear the bells! the chiming bells! list the tale their music tells!
Of a Saviour in a manager born'
Peace on earth, good-will they ring, sons of men, adore your King!
’Tis the message sung this Christmas morn.
Yet again ring out the story, peal it forth with joyous mirth,
How a dark world has been lighted by an Infant’s birth.
Of the shepherds’ watch be telling, when the angels did appear,
Bearing tidings to all people; words of holy cheer.
Ring, ye bells! and let'your chiming bear the news to sinful men
God in human form appeareth, born in Bethlehem!
Tell how Jesus left His Glory for a lowly manager bed.
Let the message of you!r music through the wide world spread.
Ring, bells, ring your sweetest music, as ye rang o’er Bethlehem’s plain,
Earth is waiting for this message—Jesus comes again!
Ring, till lands now1 wrapt in darkness echo with the glad refrain—

—HENRY EAST
He, who came in manager lowly, cometh soon to reign!
