Carol, sweetly carol,
A Saviour born today;
Bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away;
Carol, sweetly carol,
Til earth's remotest bound
Shall hear the mighty chorus
and echo back the sound.

Carol, sweetly carol,
Carol sweetly today;
Bear the joyful tidings,
O, bear them far away.

Carol, sweetly carol,
As when the angel throng
o'er the vales of Judah
Awoke the heavenly song:
Carol, sweetly carol,
Good-will and peace and love,
Glory in the highest
To God who reigns above.

Carol, sweetly carol,
The happy Christmas time;
Hark! the bells are pealing
Their merry, merry chime;
Carol, sweetly carol,
Ye shining ones above,
Sing in loudest numbers,
O sing redeeming love.
