w: Why_ ring these mer-_ ry_ bells to- day? Why pour they_ forth their_ joy-_ ous_ lay? It_ is the day_ our_ Christ was born. The bright and hap-_ py_ Christ- mas morn. And thus they bear the glad- some strain, O'er hill and plain. Then ring, ring, ring, ring, Then ring, ye me- rry Christ- mas bells, Then ring, ring ring, ye me- rry Christ- mas bells, Then ring, ring, ring, ring, Then ring, ye mer- ry Christ- mas bells, Then ring, ring, ring, ye me- rry Christ- mas bells, Ye mer- ry bells, ye mer- ry bells, Christ- mas bells._
