Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmas time is here again

Children gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound

Of angels filling the sky
Telling everyone
Christmas time is here

Loved ones close to our hearts
and strangers in lands afar
Together share in the joy
Emmanuel
He has come to dwell




With one voice
Let the world rejoice

Just WOW,
always loved this song,
and Carol of Bells too.
"Tell all the world Jesus is King!" : )

@annamarie7982

I LOVE this version. It has a dark, gothic vibe to it.

@marcusmaddox2176

Yes Joseph and shepards must have been terrified about what was happening

@FLPAN1993

JESUS IS KING!

@christopherphillips6164

Intense, dark and beautiful ... It includes the three words Satan hates the most: "Jesus is king."
