Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells,
All seem to say, Throw cares away.
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To one and old, meek and the bold.
Ding, dong, ding-dong, that is their song,
With joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere filling the air.
Oh how they pound, raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale.
Gaily their ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.
Merry, merry, merry, Merry Christmas.
Merry, merry, merry, Merry Christmas.
On, on they send, on without end,
Their joyful tone to every home,
Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells,
All seem to say, Throw cares away...
Ding, dong, ding-dong.
Ring Christmas bells, merrily ring,
Tell all the world Jesus is King.
Loudly procalim with one accord
The happy tale, Welcome the Lord.
Ring Christmas bells, sound far and near
The birthday of Jesus is here.
Herald the news to young and old,
Tell it to all in every tongue.
Ring Christmas bells, tell loud and long
Your message sweet, peal and prolong,
Come all ye people, join in the singing,
Repeat the story told by the ringing.
Ring Christmas bells, througout the earth
Tell the glad news of Jesus' birth,
Loudly proclaim with one accord
The happy tale, Welcome the Lord.
