Lyrics:
Carol of the Bells is an adaptation of an ancient Ukrainian folk song
called a "shchedrivka".An arrangement by Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921)
 was popularized in the 1930's by Oleksander Koshyts (1875-1944), a
Ukrainian choir director who worked in the US and Canada.It has since
become an American Christmas classic.

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
 throw cares away

 Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
 to young and old,
meek and the bold,

 ding dong ding
that is their song
 with joyful ring
 all caroling

 one seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air

Oh how they pound,
 raising the sound,
 o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale,

 Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
 Christmas is here,

 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
 On on they send ,
on without end,
 their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong
