Original text and translations

English text Chant: High in the tall church tower, Signed with the mystic sign, Theirs since the days of chrism, The oil and salt and wine, The great bells wait in silence Through the long death of night, For resurrection triumph And resurrection light. Polyphony: Ring again, sweet Marie, Ring again, Gabriel, Ring once more, Douce and John, Cry aloud, tenor bell. Grey old heads, lifted high, Peal your old joyful cry Of peace on earth. Peace on earth. Peace.
