Lyrics

Bell, after bell after bell is heard,
Gathering all who are able!
Come to the window and hear the word;
You’ll see a child in a cradle.
Oh ring the bells of Bethlehem,
What are the angels singing?
What news do they bring?

Now that all your flock is gather’d,
Tell me shepherd, what’s the matter?
We shall carry to the manger,
Cheese and wine and sweetest butter.
Oh ring the bells of Bethlehem,
What are the angels singing?
What news do they bring?

Stars in the heavens are shining,
Shepherd, where will you go tonight?
Run quickly, run to the baby,
Watch him slumber so sweetly.
Oh ring the bells of Bethlehem,
What are the angels singing?
What news do they bring?
