Carol of the Bells
"Carol of the Bells" is a popular Christmas carol, which is based on the Ukrainian song called "Shchedryk.” The music to “Carol of the Bells” was taken from the original Ukrainian song written by Mykola Leontovych while the English-language lyrics were written by Peter Wilhousky.
Lyrics
Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bellsAll seem to say, Throw cares away
Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer
To young and old, Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding dong, 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
(Ring silver bells, ring silver bells)
On on they send, On without end
Their joyful tone, To every home
