Sing a new version of jingle bells for climate justice

Over at novice blogger Janet has written a new version of jingle bells for climate justice. This is her creative response to the bellringing campaign that is underway today - and there are many other imaginative activities underway today across the whole world today. Make sure that you let the WCC's climate change desk know about your event - even if was modest, we're all part of a global event taking place locally. It's great, it's fun, it's creative and it's serious.
As Fred Pratt Green's great Advent hymn says:
Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
Sing, choirs, sing, sing, sing!

So get ringing, singing and jingling. Here's Janet's jingle bells theme adpated for climate change ringers everywhere:

A ringing good day

Bells ring out
Bells ring out
Bells ring out all day
As bells ring out around the world:
Protect the world today!

Bells ring out
Are you listening?
Ring out loud
Are you listening?
We’re happy today
To worship and pray
Working for a much fairer world

Bells ring out
Bells ring out
Bells ring out all day
As bells ring out around the world:
Protect the world today!

Drums beat out
Are you listening?
Beat out loud
Are you listening?
We’ll beat a loud song
As we right the wrong
Working for a much fairer world

Bells ring out
Bells ring out
Bells ring out all day
As bells ring out around the world:
Protect the world today!
