Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die. 
1. Ring our the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die. 
2. Ring our a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter manners, purer laws. 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die. 
3. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite: Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die. 
4. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die. 
5. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. 
Refrain. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; 
The year is dying in the night; Ring our, wild bells, and let him die.
