Christmas Bells (Chapman)

Chiming bells are tune­ful ring­ing;

Joyful car­ols we are sing­ing;

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas day;

Brightest day of all the year

Bringing bless­èd words of cheer

’Tis our Sav­ior’s na­tal day.

Chiming bells are tune­ful ring­ing;

Joyful car­ols we are sing­ing;

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas

Merry

mer­ry Christ­mas day.

Gladsome day of man’s sal­va­tion;

Spread the news to ev­ery na­tion;

Christ the Lord has come to earth.

Praise Him now

our Sav­ior king

Grateful of­fer­ings to Him bring;

Chant anew Em­ma­nu­el’s birth.

Bright o’er us the light is beam­ing

For with love the sky is teem­ing

At this mer­ry Christ­mas time.

Glory be to God! our song

Saints and an­gels now pro­long

While the bells their car­ols chime.
