Ring, ring, ring, ring, song of joy and gladness; Ring, ring, ring, ring, triumph over sadness, Christ our Leader, ever near, Strengthens us with hope and cheer; Hear the notes of praise resounding, sweet and clear.

Join the song, ye weak and wounded in the war, Sing of rest forever on the Golden Shore; Sing of love that sweetly binds the broken heart, Love that everlasting blessing will impart.

O be brave and joyous, heroes of the Cross, Do not pine because of earthly pain or loss; Since the Lord of hosts is with us all the days, Lift your voices in a gladsome hymn of praise.
