Verse 1:
We light the tree beside the table
We gather round with warm hellos
The streets are cold,
The fire is faithful
Tell the story new, tell the story old
Verse 2:
My father’s hair’s a little greyer
His eyes shine brighter than before
We share our stories,
Lift our prayers
Another year gone by
Let’s break the silent night
Chorus:
We’re gonna ring the Bells
On Christmas day
Let the light bring forth the dawn
We’re gonna ring the Bells
The Joy Proclaim
Giving us hope, helping us carry on
Verse 3:
The choir sings
And lights the candles
Our family fills the second row
It’s almost midnight in the chapel
‘Peace on earth’ we sing
New life is born again
Chorus:
We’re gonna ring the Bells
On Christmas day
Let the light bring forth the dawn
We’re gonna ring the Bells
The Joy Proclaim
Giving us hope, helping us carry on
Bridge:
{Peace, peace, peace on earth
Good will to all
Peace, peace, peace on earth
Giving us hope,
Helping us carry on} [3x]
Outro:
{We’re gonna ring the bells
On Christmas day
Giving us hope,
Helping us carry on} [2x]
