1. The merry bells for us they ring, for us they ring, for us they ring,
A message of great joy they bring, great joy they bring, great joy they bring;
They tell of Christ the little Child,
Of peace, good-will and mercy mild;
They ring o'er earth a sweet refrain,
Glad Christmas comes again.

Refrain:
They ring, they ring a sweet refrain,
Glad Christmas comes again.

2. Those dear to use with joy we greet, with joy we greet, with joy we greet,
Round festive board old friends we meet, old friends we meet, old friends we meet;
With harmless jest and faces bright,
With out a care, with hearts so light
We'll banish sorrow and all pain;
Glad Christmas comes again. Refrain

3. O happy day when Christ was born, when Christ was born, when Christ was born,
The best of days is this glad morn, is this glad morn, is this glad morn;
To men there comes sweet joy and peace,
The dawn of life which shall not cease.
O bells, ring out the heav'nly strain,
Glad Christmas comes again. Refrain
