Lyrics
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.
Chorus:
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
“Fear not,” said He (for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds),
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.”
Chorus:
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
“To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign.”
Chorus:
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
“All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.”
Chorus:
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
Sweet bells, sweet chiming Christmas bells,
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
They cheer us on our heavenly way,
Sweet chiming bells
