Carol of the Bells (Traditional Version)

Hark, hear the bells,
Bright 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 echoing.

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere,
Filling the air.

O, 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 every home.

Ding, dong, ding, dong!
