Treble clef lyrics: Bass clef lyrics:
Hark! the bells are sounding, Welcome to our pleasures
Christmas draweth nigh; And our Christmas cheer!
Now let joy abounding, We'll not stint the measures,
Bid all sorrow fly. Would you all were here!
Ye who pine in sorrow, Boys and girls together--
Come be cheer'd to-day; From all parts and climes,
Of our gladness borrow, To enjoy this weather,
As you freely may. And these Christmas times!
