Merry, merry chiming bells,
Clear and sweet their carol swells,
Joyful news their music tells,
Glory in the highest:
Refrain
Glory be to God on high,
Glory in the highest.
In a manger far away,
Once the infant Savior lay;
We will sing His birth today,
Glory in the highest:
Refrain
Let the glorious tidings fly,
Angels sing, and earth reply;
Glory be to God on high!
Glory in the highest:
Refrain
