The Carpenters › Lyrics › Carol of the Bells

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 everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
Over 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

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 caroling

One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
Over 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

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding dong ding dong
