O Joyful Bells Ring In Glory

Many wonderful voices are heard...
one of the brightest stars is seen;
o joyful bells ring in glory!
In the blue and quite Heavens
the angels proclaim God's Word;
this night is too cold for those 
shepherds watching their sheep
on the Bethlehem's hills!

A shining angel startles them,
as he tells them, " The Child
prophesied long ago, 
is born!" And that star will lead 
them to the manger, where He
sleeps and gives off a divine glow;  
doesn't Mary know that Her baby
will soon save Humankind?

O joyful bells ring in glory!
Let every angel praise
the glorious birth of a Prince,
who'll be the Shepherd of many...
whose hearts have longed for real joy!
O sweet child sent by God,
you've come to redeem the sinful world!
O joyful bells ring in glory!
