1. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,The flying cloud, the frosty light;The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
2. Ring out the old; ring in the new;Ring happy bells across the snow;The year is going; let him go;Ring out the false; ring in the true.The year is going, let him go;Ring out, the false; ring in the true.
3. Ring in the valiant men and free,The larger heart, the kindlier hand;Ring out the darkness of the land;Ring in the Christ that is to be.Ring out the darkness of the land;Ring in the Christ that is to be.
