Many, many years ago
Was the story often told,
About a baby King and the promising
Of a world that's filled with love.
Many years have come and gone
But the promise still lives on,
For we all remember the baby born
In a lowly cattle stall,
In a manger filled with straw.
The bells ring out for Christmas!
The bells ring out for Christmas!
The choirs sing; the angels bring
Good news from God, in all His glory.
The bells ring out for Christmas!
(The bells ring out for Christmas time!)
The bells ring out for Christmas!
(The bells ring out and when they call,)
And when they call,
(Come one and all,)
Come one and all,
(To praise the Lord,)
To praise the Lord,
Both parts: In all His glory - now!
Listen now as we tell of the Lord
And the word for all mankind,
How the Lord God born in human form
Gives us cause to celebrate,
With enthusiastic praise.
The bells ring out for Christmas!
(The bells ring out for Christmas time!)
The bells ring out for Christmas!
(The bells ring out and when they call,)
And when they call,
(Come one and all,)
Come one and all,
(To praise the Lord,)
To praise the Lord,
Both parts: In all His glory - now!
.... In all His glory,
All His glory, all His glory - now!
