Merry Christmas Bells (Smith)

Ring with joy and glad­ness

The merry Christ­mas bell;

Let its tune­ful ec­ho

The sac­red sto­ry tell!

How the lone­ly shep­herds

Upon the hills at night

Heard the an­gel mes­sage

And saw the ho­ly light.

Ring

O ring with glad­ness

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

For we love the sto­ryThy joy­ous mu­sic tells!

Ring

O ring with glad­ness

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

Ring

O ring

with glad­ness

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

Christmas bells! Christmas bells!

Ring the bells with glad­ness

But ring them soft­ly now;

See the won­der­ing Ma­gi

Before the man­ger bow;

Where the King of Glory

The Day­spring from the skies

Christ

the bless­èd Sav­ior

A help­less in­fant lies.Ring

O ring with glad­ness

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

For we love the sto­ryThy joy­ous mu­sic tells!

Ring the bells with glad­ness

For Je­sus came to save;

He for guil­ty sin­ners

The ran­som free­ly gave;

On this mer­ry Christ­mas

While joy­ful­ly we sing;

As a hum­ble trib­ute

Our hearts to Him we bring.Ring

O ring with glad­ness

Ye mer­ry Christ­mas bells!

For we love the sto­ryThy joy­ous mu­sic tells!
