English text
- 1.
- Why ring these merry bells today?
- Why pour they forth their joyous lay?
- It is the day our Christ was born.
- The bright and happy Christmas morn.
- And thus they bear the gladsome strain,
- O'er hill and plain.
- Chorus:
- Then ring, ring, ring, ring,
- Then ring, ye merry Christmas bells,
- Then ring, ring ring, ye merry Christmas bells,
- Then ring, ring, ring, ring,
- Then ring, ye merry Christmas bells,
- Then ring, ring, ring, ye merry Christmas bells,
- Ye merry bells, ye merry bells, Christmas bells.
- 2.
- Oh, should we not his praise proclaim,
- And sing the glory of his name;
- The angels came from heav'n above,
- To tell the wonders of his love.
- The prophets brought their gifts of gold,
- And wealth untold.
- Chorus.
- 3.
- We'll twine the ivy wreath today,
- And laurels strew along the way,
- That all the world may know and see
- What Christ has done for you and me;
- That we, by showing forth our love,
- its heart may move.
- Chorus.
Lyrics: Mrs. A. Godshall
