Listen To the Bells Ringing
Once a little baby boy,
Was born in Bethlehem.
He was Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Come to save the world from sin.
There was no room for Him that night,
In all the Inns in town.
Mary lay Him in a bed of hay
With animals all around.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
God’s glory shone around.
Peace on Earth, good will to all men,
Angels sang. What a joyful sound!
Wise men brought Him gifts from afar-
Myrrh, frankincense, and gold.
Then they returned to far off lands,
And the blessed story was told.
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
Listen to the bells ringing!
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
Hear the happy children singing!
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
Listen to the bells ringing!
