Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
all seem to say, "Throw cares away."
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
to young and old, meek and the bold.
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
with joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
from ev'rywhere, filling the air.
Oh how they pound, raising the sound
o'er hill and dale, telling their tales.
Gaily they ring, while people sing
songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
On-on they send, on without end
their joyful tone to ev'ry home.
Music from Ukrainian song "Shchedryk"
composed by Mykola Leontovych, 1914.
English lyrics by Peter Wilhousky, 1936.
