When the bells rang out for Christmas

It was the blithest Yule,said the bells,
The merriest Yule,said the bells,
The gladdest Yule,said the bells,
The happiest Yule,said the bells,
The gladdest Yule,said the bells,
The happiest Yule,said the bells,
O, the bells, the bells,said the bells,
The bells, the bells,said the bells,
O, the bells, the bells,said the bells,
