1. Now the joyful bells a-ringing, All ye mountains, praise the Lord! Lift our hearts, like birds a-winging, All ye mountains, praise the Lord! Now our festal season, bringing Kinsmen all to bide and board, Sets our cheery voices singing: All ye mountains praise the Lord!
2. Dear our home as dear none other; Where the mountains praise the Lord! Gladly here our care we smother; Where the mountains praise the Lord! Here we know that Christ our brother Binds us all as by a cord: He was born of Mary mother Where the mountains praise the Lord!
3. Cold the year, new whiteness wearing, All ye mountains, praise the Lord! Peace, goodwill, to us a-bearing, All ye mountains, praise the Lord! Now we all God's goodness sharing Break the bread and sheathe the sword: Bright our hearths the signal flaring, All ye mountains, praise the Lord!
