Carol, sweetly carol,
a Savior born today;
bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away:
carol, sweetly carol,
till earth's remotest bound
shall hear the mighty chorus,
and echo back the sound.
Carol, sweetly carol,
carol sweetly today;
bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away.
Carol, sweetly carol,
as when the angel throng
o'er the vales of Judah,
awoke the heavenly song:
carol, sweetly carol,
goodwill and peace and love,
glory in the highest
to God who reigns above.
Carol, sweetly carol,
carol sweetly today;
bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away.
Carol, sweetly carol,
the happy Christmas time;
hark! the bells are pealing
their merry, merry chime:
carol, sweetly carol,
ye shining ones above,
sing in loudest numbers,
O sing redeeming love.
Carol, sweetly carol,
carol sweetly today;
bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away.
