1. Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
Winter .winds are blowing;
Cold the night and snowing;
Children, come and greet me;
Open, I entreat ye!
Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
2. Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
Joyful carols sing ye,
See the gifts I bring ye,
For each boy and maiden
Richly I am laden.
Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
3. Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
See the candles glowing;
Hearts their love are showing!
List to what I'm. telling,
There I'll make my dwelling.
Ring, bells, ring ding, dong, ding;
Ring ding, dong, ding!
