text:  Old Catholic bells, sweet silver bells All seem to say, throw cares away Christmas is here, bringing good cheer To young and old, making the ball Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is the song With joyful ring, all caroling One seems to hear words of good cheer From everywhere, filling the air Oh, how they come, raising their sound Dawn, Hush, and Dale, telling their tale Merry, merry, why people sing Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
