Ring Out, Wild Bells

Lyrics

1. 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. 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. 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.
