Ring, Easter Bells
Ring, Easter bells, ring merrily
a welcome to the Spring
And let your joyful cadence
a peaceful halo bring.
Fill the wild woods with music
Let the bluebird gaily trill,
And the robin with his silver notes
vie with the thrush at will.
Ring, Easter bells, ring cheerily
a welcome to the flowers,
that peep their heads so shyly
beneath the woodland bowers.
Call forth the sleeping petals
where winter's snows have lain,
Ring, Easter bells, ring cheerily
For Spring has come again.
Ring, Easter bells, ring joyfully
that message soft and clear,
Tell that the earth is born anew
and filled with hope and cheer;
That faith bids all the world
take up her song of victory.
Ring, Easter bells, from far and near,
ring out exultingly.
~ Helen A. Hulton ~
I'd like to wish you and yours a very Happy Easter.
I asked Jesus,
"How much do you love me?"
"This much" He answered.
Then He stretched out His arms
and died.
