about

Lyrics adapted from the poem "Christmas Bells" by George Cooper, published in "Highdays & Holidays" (1923), and found on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/highdaysholidays0000unse/page/282/mode/2up

lyrics

“Are you waking?” shout the breezes
To the tree-tops waving high,
“Don’t you hear the happy tidings
Whispered to the earth and sky?
Have you caught them in your dreaming,
Frozen streams and snowy swells?                    
Do you know the joy we bring you
In the merry Christmas bells?

“Are you waking, flowers that slumber
In the deep and frosty ground?
Do you hear what we are breathing
To the listening world around?
For we bear the sweetest story
That the glad year ever tells:
How He loved the little children, —
He who brought the Christmas bells
