The bells are sweetly ringing And the angels are sweetly singing It's a very special holiday Joy and gladness is in the air Happy people everywhere It's a very special holiday The bells are sweetly ringing (Bells are ringing, sweetly ringing) And the angels are sweetly singing (Angels singing, sweetly singing) "Glory to God", you hear them say It will soon be Christmas Day Many, many years ago The little baby came to Earth And every man should know It was the blessed Savior's birth He brought peace on Earth (On this Earth) Good will to all men It's that time of year again Bells are ringing, angels singing Glory, glory, glory to the newborn king
