Merry bells, merry bells, ring, oh, ring today.
Oh, how happily we sing, for joy is on the way.
Christmas bells, Christmas bells ring your music sweet,
While our hearts keep merry time to children’s dancing feet.
Tender are our thoughts, tears we bid depart,
Happiness we long to bring to every saddened heart.
Join us as we sing, banish every tear,
Christmas is the dearest time that comes in all the year.
CHORUS.
Pain is banished quite, sorrow goes away,
