Hymnal: Hymns and Carols #13 (1903) First Line: Why do bells for Christmas ring? Lyrics: 1 Why do bells for Christmas ring?
Why do little children sing?
Why do little children sing?
2 Once a lovely, shining star,
Seen by shepherds from afar,
Gently moved until its light
Made a manager-cradle bright.
3 There a darling baby lay
Pillowed soft upon the hay.
And his mother sang and smiled,
"This is Christ, the holy child."
4 Therefore bells at Christmas ring,
Therefore little children sing,
Therefore little children sing. Languages: English Tune Title: [Why do bells for Christmas ring?]
