Go, prepare Him a crown!

To be feasted and honored today?

Jesus Christ is come down,
To a poor little town,
|: He is come! He is come!
Ring the bells! Ring the bells! :| x4

Is He come in His grandeur and pride,
To ride through the streets of the town,
With the princes and priests at His side,
And the soldiers defending His crown?

Ring the bells! Ring the bells! :| x2
In a cave cold and bare,
You will find the King there,

Have they laid Him within a soft bed,
Like the kings and the princes of old,
With a guard to watch over His head?

|: He is come! He is come!
Ring the bells! Ring the bells! :| x2
He is laid in the grass,
With the ox and the ass,
|: He is come! He is come!
Ring the bells! Ring the bells! :| x4
