Carol of the Bells
Chor 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 dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All carolling

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh how the pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, Gloria
Hark how the bells
All seem to say
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 the 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

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, Gloria
Hark how the bells
All seem to say
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh how the pound
R
aising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Hark how the bells
All seem to say
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer

One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh how the 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

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 tune to every home

Informationen zum Lied
Unter dem Namen Schtschedryk komponierte 1904 der Ukrainer Mykola Leotowytsch ein Volkslied für einen
4-stimmigen Chor, das Grundlage für Carol of the Bells wurde. 1916 wurde das Lied zum ersten Mal vorgetragen. Peter J. Wilhousky gab dem Lied für den englischen Sprachraum einen neuen Text und es entwickelte sich zu einem der bekanntesten Weihnachtsliedern.
