31 Days of Christmas Carols - Day Twenty-Five - Carol of the Bells

CAROL OF THE BELLS

by Peter J. Wilhousky

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

Oh how they pound

Raising the sound

O'er hill and dale

Telling their tale

Joyf'ly they ring

While people sing

Songs of good cheer

Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
