1 Carol, merrily carol!
O carol a song of love!
To Jesus, our infant Savior,
The blessèd One from above.
Carol, cheerily carol!
Yes, carol a song of praise,
To Him in the lowly manger
A song of thanksgiving raise.
To Him in the lowly manger
A song of thanksgiving raise.

2 Carol, merrily carol!
O carol that name so dear—
All beautiful name of Jesus;
’Tis music to mortal ear.
Carol, cheerily carol!
Yes, carol of Heav’n’s bright ray;
The glory of Christ appeareth;
All darkness hath passed away;
The glory of Christ appeareth;
All darkness hath passed away.

3 Carol, merrily carol!
O carol the angel lay,
"All glory to God in Heaven,
The Savior is born today."
Carol, cheerily carol!
Yes, carol of Christ the Lord;
Let angels and men forever
Sound forth the triumphant word;
Let angels and men forever
Sound forth the triumphant word.
