[Verse 1]
Hark to the bells on Christmas day
From the church on the hill above
Telling the birth of our saviour dear
With his message of truth and love

[Chorus]
Oh, the merry bells of Christmas
Ring the sound so sweet and gay
May you know true joy and gladness
On every Christmas day

[Verse 2]
Born in a stable cold and bare
With a manger for his bed
Mary and shepherds on holy ground
In that lowly cattle shed

[Chorus]
Oh, the merry bells of Christmas
Ring the sound so sweet and gay
May you know true joy and gladness
On every Christmas day

[Verse 3]
Carols and choirs will fill the air
With this joyful song of peace
And there is joy on earth today
With this song that will not ceasе
[Chorus]
Oh, the merry bells of Christmas
Ring thе sound so sweet and gay
May you know true joy and gladness
On every Christmas day

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Peace to the world and peace to men
Is the song the dear bells ring
Nations will follow on earth below
With this song the angels sing

[Chorus]
Oh, the merry bells of Christmas
Ring the sound so sweet and gay
May you know true joy and gladness
On every Christmas
Oh, the merry bells of Christmas
Ring the sound so sweet and gay
May you know true joy and gladness
On every Christmas day
