Christmas Bells (Kieffer)

Happy Christ­mas bells are ring­ing

Everywhere

ev­ery­where;

Merry Christ­mas bells are ring­ing

Upon the wint­ry air;

Telling of the love of God’s dear Son

How He came from Heav’n to earth

Ringing in the morn­ing

once again

Of our dear Sav­ior’s birth.

Ring

sweet bells; oh

ring again!

Pealing out your glad­some strain!

Happy Christ­mas bells

peal on

Ringing glad­ness ev­ery­where.

Happy Christ­mas bells

your chim­ing

Wakens hopes bright with love;

Tenderly your mu­sic tells us

Of that sweet home above;

Hopefully we look to that sweet home

Far re­moved from care and sin

Longing for the bells of Heav’n to ring

A sweet­er Christ­mas in.
