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,
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 Dong
This is one of my top ten favorite Christmas Carols. The speed, the music, the way it flows together so naturally, reminds me of all the Christmases we've celebrated together as a family. The year we all were sick with the flu, the first Christmas in our house on the Erie Canal, the time it was on a Sunday and my Grandma lived with us, and the first Christmas for each of my sisters.
