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, 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.
Ding, dong, ding, dong, Merry, merry, merry, Christmas, On, on they send, On without end, Their joyful tone, To every home.

They know that Santa's on his way, One his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you.
Les anges dans nos campagnes Ont entonné l'hymne des cieux; Et l'écho de nos montagnes Redit ce chant mélodieux.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Bergers, pour qui cette fête?
Quel est l'objet de tous ces chants?
Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête Mérite ces cris triomphants?
Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo, Ils annoncent la naissance Du libérateur d'Israël, Et pleins de reconnaissance Chantent en ce jour solennel.
Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo, Cherchons tous l'heureux village Qui l'a vu naître sous ses toits Offrons-lui le tendre hommage Et de nos coeurs et de nos voix!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo, Gloria, in excelsis Deo, Oh holy night.
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin.
And error pining till He appeare and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope.
The weary world rejoices.
for yonder breaks a new.
and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O, hear the angel voices.
O night divine!
O night When Christ was born.
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!
Truly he taught us to love one another.
His law is love, and his gospel is peace.
Chains, shall he break, For the slave is our brother, and in his name oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus.
Raise we, let all within us praise his holy name.
Christ is the Lord.
O praise his name.
Forever!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory evermore.
proclaim!
