Ring It Out!

Ring it out! ring it out on ev'ry hand;

1

Ring it out! ring it out on ev'ry hand;Reformation has begun.Ring it out! ring it out through all the land;Victory is almost won.'Tis war to the death with wine and beer,With ale and gin and whisky too;Then join in our union, never fear,—Be earnest, faithful, firm, and true.

Chorus.

Ring it out! ring it out! Let the reign of peace begin!Ring it out with a shout! Temperance is bound to win!

2

Ring the bells in the East and in the West;Reformation has begun.All unite in the war-cry—do your best;Let the work be grandly done.Then raise up the standard, swell the song,And press the foe on ev'ry field,Till justice shall triumph over wrong,And all the hosts of evil yield.

3

Ring it out! ring it out in ev'ry home;Reformation has begun.Let the young hear the call, let old age come,Ev'ry heart should join as one.Then labor at morn and work at noon,Nor rest when ev'ning shadows fall;For victory grand shall crown us soon,And truth and right shall reign o'er all.
