Carol of the Bells / What Child Is This? - Point of Grace

Carol Of The Bells

Hark!

how the bells

Sweet silver bells

All seem to say

«throw cares away.»

Christmas is here

Bringing good cheer

To young and old

Meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong

That is their song

With joyful ring

All caroling

One seems to hear

Words of good cheer

From ev’rywhere

Filling the air

O how happy are their tones

Gaily they ring

While people sing

Songs of good cheer

Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas

On, on they send

On without end

Their joyful tone

To ev’ry home

(repeat from the beginning)

Ding, dong, ding, dong

What Child Is This?

What child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary’s lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh

Come peasant king to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary!
