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
Oh, 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 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
Oh, 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 every home
Onward they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Onward they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Onward they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Onward they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
