| 1. O the Easter bells
are gladly ringing,
Let the whole world
join the happy lay,
Let the hills and vales
break forth in singing,
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
Refrain.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let the whole world
join the happy lay,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
2. O the Easter bells
are gladly ringing,
Hear the shouts along
the King痴 highway;
Songs of praise the children,
too, are singing,
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
Refrain.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let the whole world
join the happy lay,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
3. O the Easter bells
are gladly ringing,
For the night of death
has passed away,
Lo! the gates of morn
are open swinging,
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
Refrain.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let the whole world
join the happy lay,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lord of Life,
is ris地 today.
