Carol of the Bells

by Anonymous

　　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. 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! Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas! Onward they send, On without end, Their joyful tone To ev'ry home: Hark! How the bells, Sweet silver bells, All seem to say, "Throw cares away!"
