REVIEW IEW EW IEW IEW IE poco rit. poco rit. u Ring the Easter Bells is a oyous resurrection anthem in a lexible arrangement or S.A.T.B. voices. Suggested corresponding scripture readings include Psalm 118:14 24, Luke 24:1 12, Acts 10:34 43 and 1 Corinthians 15:19 26. One basic homiletical theme is the invitation or all true believers to share in the triumph o God s love in Christ s resurrection.
