Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Ding dong ding dong
Their Christmas 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,
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
All seem to say,
Throw cares away
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
Their Christmas 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,
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,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
On without end,
Their joyful tone
To every home
On on they send ,
On without end,
Their joyful tone
To every home
On on they send ,
On without end,
Their joyful tone
To every home
Ding Dong Ding Dong
The song “Carol of the Bells” by the Mormon Youth Chorus and Symphony, originally titled “Shchedryk,” is a Ukrainian folk song that was rearranged by Mykola Leontovych in 1916. The lyrics describe the sound of the bells ringing in excitement for the arrival of the Christmas season. The song first gained popularity in the United States after it was performed by the Ukrainian National Chorus in New York City in 1921. The melody has since become a favorite Christmas tune and has been recorded by various artists around the world.
The opening lines of the song, “Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away” suggest that the sound of the bells is an invitation to clear one's mind of worries and embrace the joyful spirit of the holiday season. The song then goes on to describe how the bells fill the air with words of good cheer and raise their sound over the hills and dale, telling their tale of Christmas joy. The repeated refrain of “Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, on on they send, on without end,” highlights the never-ending joy that Christmas brings and how it spreads from house to house, from person to person.
Overall, the song “Carol of the Bells” celebrates the excitement and joy of the Christmas season, as well as how it brings people together in a spirit of goodwill and celebration.
