Carol of the Bells / Ding Dong Merrily on High (Medley)

[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
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"
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
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"

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

On-on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home

[Ding Dong Merrily on High (Medley)]

[Verse 1]
Ding dong merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing

[Chorus]
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

[Verse 2]
E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen

[Chorus]
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

[Verse 3]
Pray ye dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May ye beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers

[Chorus]
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
