Christmas Bells Lyrics

1. Oh, Christmas bells, your sweetest strain
Ring out today o'er hill and plain,
In glad remembrance of the birth
Of Him who came to dwell on earth.

[Chorus:]
Our joy proclaim.
Peal forth! exulting in the name
Of Jesus, o'er whom angels sang
Till Judah's mountain echoes rang.

2. Let hearts grow warm and tell of cheer,
For merry Christmas time is here,
That day of days we love the best,
When by the Christ-Child we are blest. [Chorus]

3. Oh, tell the story thro' the land,
Till ev'ry soul shall understand,
That in each heart today would dwell
The Holy One of Israel. [Chorus]

4. Let sweetest music fill the air,
And, like the incense of a prayer,
Ascend, till round Immanuel's throne
Our joy in Jesus' birth is known. [Chorus]
