Sheet music
- 1Joy-bells ringing, children singing,Fill the air with music sweet;Joyful measure, guileless pleasure,Make the chain of song complete.Joy-bells ringing, children singing,Hark their voices loud and clear,Breaking o’er us like a chorusFrom a purer, happier sphere.
- 2Earth seems brighter, hearts grow lighter,As the gladsome melodyCharms our sadness into gladness,Pealing, pealing joyfully.
