16424. Christmas Bells

1 Chime, sweet bells of Christ­mas time,
Chime so sweet, or chime so low,
Chime in car­ol or in rhyme,
Merry bells across the snow.

Refrain:
Chime, chime, mer­ri­ly chime,
Now in car­ol or in rhyme;
Sing, sing, cheer­ily sing,
Christmas car­ols sweet.

2 Shining star, a pathw­ay make
To our hearts, and, free from sin,
Holy an­gels of God’s love
May des­cend and en­ter in. [Refrain]

3 Chime, chime, chime, chime, sweet­ly chime,
As we come or as we go;
May the mu­sic of Christ’s name
Chime with bells across the snow. [Refrain]
