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 carolling.
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,
Song 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.
