Chiming bells are tune­ful ring­ing;
Joyful car­ols we are sing­ing;
Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas day;
Brightest day of all the year,
Bringing bless­èd words of cheer,
’Tis our Sav­ior’s na­tal day.

Refrain

Chiming bells are tune­ful ring­ing;
Joyful car­ols we are sing­ing;
Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas,
Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas,
Merry, mer­ry Christ­mas day.

Gladsome day of man’s sal­va­tion;
Spread the news to ev­ery na­tion;
Christ the Lord has come to earth.
Praise Him now, our Sav­ior king,
Grateful of­fer­ings to Him bring;
Chant anew Em­ma­nu­el’s birth.

Refrain

Bright o’er us the light is beam­ing,
For with love the sky is teem­ing
At this mer­ry Christ­mas time.
Glory be to God! our song
Saints and an­gels now pro­long,
While the bells their car­ols chime.
