How long have we waited here
Many prayers over many years
That he would come and we would see
A promise from our distant past
Laid before our eyes at last
Light from heaven and our King
Given us this day

Ring the bells, ring them loud
God has come to us now
Lift your eyes, lift your voice and sing
Praises to this gift of grace
Mercy born for all today
So go and tell
And ring the bells

What a joy what a mystery
The morning star and the prince of peace
Sleeping in his mother's arms
The love of God in a little child
Come to save, come to bring new life
And heal every broken heart
Let the whole world hear

Ring the bells, ring them loud
God has come to us now
Lift your eyes, lift your voice and sing
Praises to this gift of grace
Mercy born for all today
So go and tell, And ring the bells

Sing, Christ is born today
Oh sing, hallelujah praise
Oh sing, for this child
Is the King of kings
Ring the bells, ring them loud
God has come to us now
Lift your eyes, lift your voice and sing
Lift your eyes, lift your voice and sing

Praises to this gift of grace
Mercy born for all today
So go and tell

Ring the bells, ring them loud
God has come to us now
Lift your eyes, lift your voice and sing
Praises to this gift of grace
Mercy born for all today
So go and tell, And ring the bells
