drop-capWhydo the bells of Christmas ring?Why do little children sing?Once a lovely shining star,Seen by shepherds from afar,Gently moved until its lightMade a manger’s cradle bright.There a darling baby lay,Pillowed soft upon the hay;And its mother sung and smiled:“This is Christ, the holy Child!”Therefore bells for Christmas ring,Therefore little children sing.

Whydo the bells of Christmas ring?

Why do little children sing?

Once a lovely shining star,Seen by shepherds from afar,Gently moved until its lightMade a manger’s cradle bright.

Once a lovely shining star,

Seen by shepherds from afar,

Gently moved until its light

Made a manger’s cradle bright.

There a darling baby lay,Pillowed soft upon the hay;And its mother sung and smiled:“This is Christ, the holy Child!”

There a darling baby lay,

Pillowed soft upon the hay;

And its mother sung and smiled:

“This is Christ, the holy Child!”

Therefore bells for Christmas ring,Therefore little children sing.

Therefore bells for Christmas ring,

Therefore little children sing.
