It calls listeners to ring bells and sing from the heart because the Savior is born. The lyrics emphasize that the Christmas stories are true and that redemption has come through Christ, the Light of the world and Emmanuel. The song invites everyone to rejoice and tell the good news, ending with a chorus of 'Hallelujah.' It captures the warmth and wonder of Christmas while pointing to the spiritual meaning of Jesus' birth.
Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
Here we go!
The frost is on every window pane
Fires aglow as the night fades
Children laughing all down the lane
The man in the snow has just been made
Ring, ring all the bells
Christmas is here
The spirit it calls you
Sing, sing from your heart
The savior is born
The stories are all true
The tinsel hung on the evergreen
Grateful hearts singing softly
Gifts as far as the eye can see
Snow outside gently falling
Ring, ring all the bells
Christmas is here
The spirit it calls you
Sing, sing from your heart
The savior is born
The stories are true
Ring, ring all the bells
Angels rejoice
Redemption upon us
Sing, sing from your heart
Light of the world
Emmanuel
Ring the bells
The season's upon us
Christ is born
The Light of the world
Come let us tell
(Come, let us sing)
The season's upon us
Come and rejoice
The Light of the world
Come let us tell
(Come, let us sing, here forever)
Come and rejoice
Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Christmas is here
Christmas is here
