1 Caroling gently, caroling sweetly,
Faith in her grandeur is hailing the morn;
Angels from glory herald the story,
Wonderful story, “A Saviour is born!”

Refrain:
Christmas bells, from your towers on high,
Chiming aloud thro’ the radiant sky,
Merrily, cheerily, joyfully ring,
Herald the birth of the newborn King!
Caroling gently, caroling sweetly,
Faith in her grandeur is hailing the morn;
Angels from glory herald the story,
Wonderful story, “A Saviour is born!”

2 Caroling gently, caroling sweetly,
Hope, like a seraph, reechoes the strain;
He that was promised, He the Anointed,
Over His people forever shall reign. [Refrain]

3 Caroling gently, caroling sweetly,
Truth, love and mercy with banners unfurled,
Folding their pinions now are proclaiming
Peace from our Father, goodwill to the world. [Refrain]

4 Caroling gently, caroling sweetly,
Voices unnumbered in music we hear,
Singing of Christmas, beautiful Christmas,
Day that is brightest of all the glad year! [Refrain]
