SONG
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.
