Jingle Bells Ring Out (YC No 160)

Bells we hope will chime

At this our Christmas time;

Let them loudly ring;

Joyfully we sing.

As this day draws near

Jubilant each year -

In our minds and in our hearts

Let Jesus re-appear.

Chorus:

Bells will chime all the time;

Joy can overflow

In this hot and arid land

When there is no snow.

Bells will chime all the time;

Let the ringing grow;

Christmas can bring peace and joy

And we shall make it so.

New life is begun,

It is for everyone;

Mary’s baby boy -

Bells ring out the joy.

Wattles sing their song;

Gum trees stand so strong;

“Jesus, there is room for you

Around each billabong.”

Chorus

Celebrate his birth;

Announcing peace on earth;

Jesus born today;

Joy is here to stay;

Ring out all the bells,

Joining our Nowells;

Life and hope his message brings

And still the chorus swells.
