"While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
Fear not, said He
For mighty dread had seized their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
Sweet bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men
Begin and never cease
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way
Sweet chiming bells"
