Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
Filling the air
Gather round far and wide
Every nation, tongue and tribe
Hear the call and lift your eyes
Hear 'em ringin'
Hear 'em ringin'
Glory, glory in the highest
Make way for the Messiah
The King has arrived
So, fear not
The bells ring out the story
That Jesus is restoring
The dead back to life
I hear 'em ringin'
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh, how they pound
Raising the sound
Telling their tale
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Gather round far and wide (Yeah)
Every nation, tongue and tribe (Every nation, tongue and tribe)
Hear the call and lift your eyes
I hear 'em ringin'
Hear 'em ringin'
Glory, glory in the highest
Make way for the Messiah
The King has arrived
(Ooh)
So, fear not
The bells ring out the story
That Jesus is restoring
The dead back to life
I hear 'em ringin'
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh-oh
Ring them bells
Oh-oh

I hear archangels rockin' Jerusalem (Oh, oh-oh)

O Mary, o Martha, o Mary ring them bells
Glory, glory in the highest (Oh)
Make way for the Messiah (Make way)

So, fear not

The bells ring out the story
That Jesus is restoring
The dead back to life
Oh, I hear 'em ringin'
