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.
