Carol of the Bells

Religious Music · Other Songs - Religious Music

Hark how the bells,

sweet silver bells,

all seem to say,

throw cares away



Christmas is here,

bringing good cheer,

to young 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 they 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.



Ding dong ding... dong!
