Lyrics:

Refrain:

||: 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 ev'rywhere
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! :||

On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home. :||
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home.

Ding, dong, ding, dong.
