Süßer die Glocken nie klingen [English translation]

The bells never ring sweeter

than at Christmastime:

It is as if angels are singing

of peace and joy again.

Ring out across the Earth,

over the seas and beyond,

bells with holy sound,

of peace and joy again!

Resound with delightful echoes

over the seas and beyond

to rejoice with all

the blessed Christmastime;

How they sing in the blessed night,

ring out across the earth!

Oh, when the bells resound,

the Christ Child quickly hears them,

then swings down from Heaven

in a rushing descent to Earth.

Ring out across the Earth,

over the seas and beyond,

bells with the holy sound

of peace and joy again!

Resound with delightful echoes

over the seas and beyond

to rejoice with all

the blessed Christmastime!

Bless the father, the mother, the child!

Ring out across the Earth,

over the seas and beyond,

with peace and joy again!

Resound with delightful echoes

over the seas and beyond

to rejoice with all

the blessed Christmastime;

All exult in song!

Ring out across the Earth!

Over the seas and beyond

Over the seas and beyond

Over the seas and beyond

Ring out across the Earth!
