Hear how the bells of Christmas play! Well may they ring for joy and say, O praise him! Alleluia! God has fulfilled his promised word, born is our Saviour and our Lord, O praise him! Alleluia! Let all the waiting earth rejoice, lift every heart and every voice, O praise him! Alleluia! Sing now the song to angels given, Glory to God in highest heaven! O praise him! Alleluia! As through the silence of the skies shepherds in wonder heard arise, O praise him! Alleluia! So may we hear again with them songs in the night at Bethlehem, O praise him! Alleluia! All nature sang at Jesus' birth, Hail the Creator come to earth! O praise him! Alleluia! Sun, moon and shining stars above, tell out the story of his love, O praise him! Alleluia! Hear how the bells of Christmas play! Well may they ring for joy and say, O praise him! Alleluia! Come now to worship and adore, Christ is our peace for evermore, O praise him! Alleluia!
