Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Hear the joy bells ringing, ringing, In the far-off towers swinging; Hear the children’s voices singing:
“Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Hallelujah! Christ is risen!”
2. Far and near the chimes are telling, On each word the Sweet tones dwelling, Soft and low, then loudly swelling:
“Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Hallelujah! Christ is risen!”
3. Easter morn is saying, saying, While its chimes are softly playing, And all hearts with joy are praying:
“Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Hallelujah! Christ is risen!”
