Joy is in our message!
Peal the Christmas bells!
Joy, great joy re-echoes
From the glory in the story
Which our chimes are telling,
As the music swells;
Ringing, ringing, new joy bringing,
Peal the Christmas bells.
Refrain
To every land in anthem grand,
From the northern icy tow�rs
To the sunset land of flow�rs;
O�er every sea, to the bond and free,
We repeat the song of angel throng;
The Savior now is ours!
Peace we softly echo
In our silvery chime,
O�er the world�s great midnight
Softly stealing, sweetly pealing,
Glorious news we?re bringing
At the Christmas time!
Now increasing, never ceasing,
In our song sublime.
Refrain
Now good will we?re sounding,
In a mighty strain!
Like the angel chorus
From the glory with the story,
Sung that Christmas morning
Over Bethle�em�s plain;
Swelling, sounding, still resounding,
As we peal again.
Refrain
