[Verse 1]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around

[Chorus]
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

[Verse 2]
"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Clad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind"

[Chorus]
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

[Verse 3]
"To you in David's town this day is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign"

[Chorus]
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
[Verse 4]
"All glory be to God on high and to the Earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease"

[Chorus]
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells

[Verse 5]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around

[Chorus]
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way, sweet chiming bells
