Joy Is In Our Message!

Joy is in our message!

Peal the Christmas bells!

Joy, great joy re-echoes

From the glory in the story

Which our chimes are telling,

As the music swells;

Ringing, ringing, new joy bringing,

Peal the Christmas bells.

Refrain

To every land in anthem grand,

From the northern icy tow'rs

To the sunset land of flow'rs;

O'er every sea, to the bond and free,

We repeat the song of angel throng;

The Savior now is ours!

Peace we softly echo

In our silvery chime,

O'er the world's great midnight

Softly stealing, sweetly pealing,

Glorious news we're bringing

At the Christmas time!

Now increasing, never ceasing,

In our song sublime.

Refrain

Now good will we're sounding,

In a mighty strain!

Like the angel chorus

From the glory with the story,

Sung that Christmas morning

Over Bethle'em's plain;

Swelling, sounding, still resounding,

As we peal again.

Refrain
