The Manger Story

Bells of Christ­mas

swing!

Bells of Christ­mas

ring!

Throbbing high up in the stee­ple

Bringing joy to all the peo­ple;

Children

join your lay

On this Christ­mas day;

Tell again the won­drous sto­ry:

Christ the Lord is born!

Bells of Chris­tmas

swing!

Bells of Christ­mas

ring!

Sound afar the old sweet sto­ry

Of the man­ger Babe

whose glo­ry

Filled the ho­ly night

With the shin­ing light

While the joy­ous an­gels car­oled

Christ the Lord is born!

Bells of Christ­mas

swing!

Bells of Chris­tmas

ring!

Round the world your mu­sic fling­ing

Keep the an­gels’ song still ring­ing;

Hearts with warm love thrill

Joyously we trill

The glad song the an­gels taught us:

Christ the Lord is born!
