1 Why do bells for Christmas ring? Why do little children sing? Why do little children sing?
2 Once a lovely, shining star, Seen by shepherds from afar, Gently moved until its light Made a manager-cradle bright.
3 There a darling baby lay Pillowed soft upon the hay. And his mother sang and smiled, "This is Christ, the holy child."
4 Therefore bells at Christmas ring, Therefore little children sing, Therefore little children sing.Source: Hymns and Carols #13
