The Hymns and Carols of Christmas

Merry, Merry Christmas Bells

Words: Author unknown.

Music: George Edgar Oliver, in The Abridged Academy Song-Book, by Charles H. Levermore (Boston, Massachusetts: Ginn & Company, 1903)

1. Merry, merry chiming bells,
Clear and sweet their carol swells,
Joyful news their music tells,
Glory in the highest:

Refrain
Glory be to God on high,
Glory in the highest.

2. In a manger far away,
Once the infant Savior lay;
We will sing His birth today,
Glory in the highest: Refrain

3. Let the glorious tidings fly,
Angels sing, and earth reply;
Glory be to God on high!
Glory in the highest Refrain
