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.
