Carol of the Bells

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, 

 rising 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!
