Blessèd songs of Christmas pealing,
Merrily, merrily;
Tidings unto earth revealing,
Blessèd songs of Christmas morn!
Refrain
Sing, O sing today; sing a Savior born;
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily,
Sing, O sing this Christmas morn;
Sing, O sing today; hail, O hail your king;
Merrily, merrily, glad songs sing.
Blessèd songs of Christmas calling,
Merrily, merrily;
Joyfully your cadence falling,
Blessèd songs of Christmas morn!

Blessèd songs the strain repeating,
Merrily, merrily;
Tunefully this glad day greeting,
Blessèd songs of Christmas morn!
