English Lyrics:

Joybells ringing, children singing,
fill the air with thankful praise;
Christ is risen, Christ is risen,
hymns of joy to Him we raise.

KOOR:
Joybells, joybells, never cease your ringing;
Children, children, never cease your singing.
[*Hark! Hark! The joyful sound is all around!] [*List, list, the song that swells. Joybells!

Joybells ringing, children singing,
Hark! Their voices, loud and clear,
breaking o'er us like a chorus
from a purer, [*heav'nly] sphere. [*happier]

Earth seems brighter, hearts grow lighter
as the [*gladsome] melody [*tuneful]
charms our sadness into gladness
pealing [*ever] joyfully. [*pealing]

Joybells nearer sound, and clearer,
when [*our hearts are] free from care; [*the heart is]
skies are clearing, while we're hearing
joybells ringing everywhere.

Music: Henry Tucker 1867 [Joy-Bells Ringing]
Lyrics: Josephine Pollard 1867 "Joy-Bells Ringing, Children Singing"
