RING CHRISTMAS BELLS (IMMANUEL) Lyrics

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

Jesus was born in Bethlehem

He is God's gift to all mankind

He left his throne in Heaven above

To fulfill God's promise of a Messiah

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Praise to Jesus our King

Immanuel is here

Blow your trumpets loud

Sing our hallelujahs

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

He was born in a manger

Humble and lowly

Wrapped in swaddling clothes

Watched by his parents

Mary and Joseph

Who heeded God's call in sheer obedience

Lowly shepherds also came to worship Him

And so did the wisemen from the East

Bearing their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh

To pay their homage to a royal king

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Praise to Jesus our King

Immanuel is here

Blow your trumpets loud

Sing our hallelujahs

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Jesus was born on Christmas morn'

He is our hope and our salvation

He fulfilled what the prophets had told long ago

A Child will be born

Immanuel

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Praise to Jesus our King

Immanuel is here

Blow your trumpets loud

Sing our hallelujahs

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring

Praise to Jesus our King

Immanuel is here

Blow your trumpets loud

Sing our hallelujahs

Ring, O ring, O ring

Christmas bells ring
