I love the happy, happy Christmas time,
The time that is so dear;
To hear the ringing of the merry chime
That comes from far and near.

Refrain

Listen to the bells, listen to the bells;
Listen to the merry, merry Christmas bells;
Listen to the bells, listen to the bells;
Listen to the merry, merry Christmas bells.

I love to sing of how the Savior came
To dwell upon the earth;
How angels out upon Judea’s plain
Proclaimed His wondrous birth.

Refrain

All glory! glory! be to God on high!
Was their celestial song;
Good will to men, and on the earth be peace,
The joyful notes prolong.

Refrain

Then let us on this happy Christmas day
Sing praises to our king;
Let every heart and every tongue rejoice;
Let bells triumphant ring.
