When the bells of Christmas ring, Soft across the falling snow, Every heart remembers hope From so many years ago. Candlelight and quiet prayer, Footsteps echo through the night, As the world stands still to hear Songs of peace and gentle light. Oh, the bells of Christmas ring, Calling all the world to sing, Peace on earth, goodwill to all, Hear the gentle Savior’s call. Oh, the bells of Christmas ring, Hope is born in everything, In the silence, pure and bright, Love has come this holy night. Through the cold of winter’s breath, Hearts grow warm by sacred fire, Every voice joins hand in hand, Lifting prayers and true desire. From the child in humble sleep To the stars that crown the sky, Heaven whispers mercy down As the night is passing by. Oh, the bells of Christmas ring, Calling all the world to sing, Peace on earth, goodwill to all, Hear the gentle Savior’s call. Still the night… still the soul… Hear the ancient promise told… From the manger, low and small, Love has come to save us all. Oh, the bells of Christmas ring, Let every heart and heaven sing, Peace on earth, goodwill restored, Praise the child, our hope, our Lord. Oh, the bells of Christmas ring, Joy awakens everything, In the silence, pure and bright, Christ is born this holy night.
