Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares awayChristmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong
That is their songWith 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,T
elling 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 toneTo every home.
