Song Lyrics

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 our song
With cheerful 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
Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)

Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away
(The bells seem to say, throw cares away)

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
(Meek and the bold)
(To young and old)

One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
(Oh, how they pound)
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
(On without end, their joyful tone to every home)

Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
(Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)

Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas

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

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
Gayly 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

(On, on they send, on without end)
(Their joyful tone to every home)
(Hear the bells, aah)

Hark, have a bell, sweet silver bells
Joyfully ring, boy is the king

Till the bells ring, Christ the Saviour is born
Alleluia
