Oh ring out the bells ring out
'Tis here the time for the season now
Raise up your voices and shout
Christmas has come that's the reason

Once again, the story begins
Bringing good news in the night
Ring out the bells Christmastide

Break out the lights shine them bright
Hang them from tree and rafter
Let them burn all through the night
Light up your hearts with the laughter

The Christmas star, shines from afar
A herald of joy far and wide
Break out the lights Christmastide

Ring bells o'er mountains and valleys
Ring bells through city and field
Ring bells over the oceans
Ring bells as joy is revealed

Gather round the joyful sound
Young and old the same
All the hopes and fears will greet the new year
Still the song remains

Ring out the bells ring out
In every land different voices
Ring joy within and without
Even cold winter rejoices

Once again, the story begins
Bringing good news in the night
Ring out the bells Christmastide
Oh ring out the bells
Ring out the bells
