CHRISTMAS BELLS, by                    
First Line: Christmas bells are ringing sweetly
Last Line: "for he's coming, coming soon!"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Christmas bells are ringing sweetly,
Far across the frosty night,
Echoing beyond the hilltops
In their blankets soft and white;
Telling of a dear Redeemer,
How He came to earth to save
Everyone who will accept Him,
How He rose up from the grave.
How He then went back to heaven,
There to make for us a place,
That He's coming back in triumph,
And we'll see Him face to face.
Christmas bells! Oh, hear them ringing!
Piercing through the war's deep gloom,
Saying, "Give your heart to Jesus,
For He's coming, coming soon!"
