Ring The Bells

By Sandra McCracken

Lyrics

We light the tree beside the table

We gather round with warm hellos

The streets are cold, the fire is faithful

Tell the story new, tell the story old


My father’s hair’s a little greyer

His eyes shine brighter than before

We share our stories, lift our prayers

Another year gone by

Let’s break the silent night


We’re gonna ring the bells on Christmas day 

Let the light bring forth the dawn

We’re gonna ring the bells the joy proclaim

Giving us hope, helping us carry on


The choir sings and lights the candles

Our family fills the second row

It’s almost midnight in the chapel

‘Peace on earth’ we sing

New life is born again


Peace, peace, peace on earth

Good will to all 

Peace, peace, peace on earth

Giving us hope, helping us carry on


We’re gonna ring the bells on Christmas day

Giving us hope, helping us carry on
