For the past several years I have done We Three Kings as my carol for the Blog Caroling event hosted annually by footnote Maven. I was looking for something different and found this version of Carol of the Bells. You can find a short history at Carol of the Bells – Wikipedia.
Carol of the Bells
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song,
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh!, how they pound, raising the sound
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, “Throw cares away.”
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home.
Ding dong ding dong…
O how clever is this. A very creative version of the carol. So delighted I found your blog. It’s fascinating.
Happiest Christmas to you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Merrie Christmas to you!
Well that was different. Thanks for sharing.

Kristin,
I truly enjoyed your Blog Caroling selection this year. I’m going to have to share this one with friends who I know will get a kick out of seeing it!
Here’s wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
And the same to you Liv!
Thank you for finding this. Such fun. Merry, merrie Christmas!
I like to find “different” even though most everybody finds such beautiful versions of their carols.
I love this generation of kreatives <3
Me too.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. It is lovely to share in your life through this blog and elsewhere. Love to you dear Kristin.
Merry Christmas Angella. I am so glad we are sharing, although we are so far away from each other.
