Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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;
From everywhere, filling the air.
Oh! How they pound raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale.
Gayly, 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 tones to every home.
(Interlude)
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.
Oh! How they pound raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale.
Gayly, 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 tones to every home.
(Interlude)
(duction Repeated)
Ding Dong, Ding Dong!
Dong!
