A Hymn for Easter : 'Bells Are Ringing!'

Bells are Ringing!   878 10

Bells are ringing, people singing,

Glorious news on Easter day!

Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour,

Is the life, is the Life, the Truth, the Way.

Bells are ringing, people singing,

Telling of Christ’s victory.

How He brings us true forgiveness;

How He comes, how He comes to set us free.

Bells are ringing, people singing,

Loudly now their voices raise.

Telling of this great salvation;

Singing out, singing out their songs of praise.

Bells are ringing, people singing,

Hear with joy the things they say;

Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour,

Is alive, is  alive this Easter day!

How He came the lost to save;
Dying on the tree of vict’ry,
Overcoming death and grave?

On this glorious Easter Day!

Of His vict’ry over sin;

Letting light come flooding in.
