159. Christmastime
Ring Christmas bells,
ring them loud with a message bringing
peace on the earth, tidings of good cheer!
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
`Joy to the World!` Christmastime is here!
Children, gather around and listen.
You´ll hear the sound of angels
Filling the sky
Telling everyone Christmastime is here!
Ring christmas bells, ring them loud with a message bringing
peace on the earth, tidings of good cheer!
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
`Joy to the World!` Christmastime is here!
Loved ones close to out hearts and strangers
In lands afar together sharing the joy
Emmanuel, go tell the world!
He has come to dwell! The time is here
With one voice, let the world rejoice!
Ring christmas bells, ring them loud with a message bringing
(Angels we have heard on high)
peace on the earth, Tidings of good cheer!
(sweetly singing o´er the plains)
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
(and the mountains in reply)
`Joy to the World!` Christmastime is here!
(echo back their joyous strains.)
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Ring Christmas bells, ring them loud
With a message bringing peace on the earth,
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
`Joy to the World` Christmastime is here!
Sing gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Sing gloria in excelsis Deo!
