CAROL OF THE BELLS
(Written by Peter J Wilhousky and Mykola Leontovich)
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 cheers, from everywhere, filling the air
Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here (x2)
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home
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 cheers, from everywhere, filling the air
Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here (x2)
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry…..
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Ding dong….
On, on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away
Ding dong….
