Bells Chime on Easter Morn

written as a song but music is unknown

Our Saviour knelt to pray
in dark Gethsemane;
“Oh, if it be Thy will…
let this cup pass from me.
Yet not my will but Thine,
oh Father, Thine be done.”
Bowed down beneath our sorrows,
’twas God’s beloved Son!

With treachery betrayed,
by Pontius Pilate tried,
then scourged and crowned with thorns
all justice was denied.
the cross and then the tomb…
at last in still repose;
but vain the attempt to hold Him;
in triumph, He arose!

Chorus:
Bells chime on Easter morn,
proclaiming Christ is risen!
Bells chime on Easter morn,
new life in Him is given!
’Twas for our guilt and shame
He suffered, bled and died;
yet He arose, and we
are freely justified.
Bells chime on Easter morn.
Yes, Christ indeed is risen!
