Ring Out, Wild Bells (text by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

Ring Out, Wild Bells by Alfred, Lord Tennyson A traditional style choral setting of "Ring Out, Wild Bells," by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1902). The poem is an excerpt from Verse XXVIII of his In Memoriam A.H.H., dealing with the first Christmas after the death in 1833 of Arthur Hallam, aged 22; who was Lord Tennyson's best friend and engaged to be married to his sister. In Memoriam was first published in 1850. Numerous composers have set "Ring Out, Wild Bells," beginning with the French composer, Charles Gounod, in 1880. ---------------------------------------------- Ring Out, Wild Bells Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out 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. Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter manners, purer laws. Ring out the want, the care the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in. 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. 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. 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. 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.
