Carol of the bells (для распевки)

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 carolling. 
One seems to hear 
words of good cheer 
from everywhere 
filling the air. 
Oh how they pound, 
raising the sound, 
o’er hill and dale, 
telling their tale, 
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 every home 
Ding dong ding… dong!
