- Voices of the belfry height
Pealing forth your merry chimes,
Sound upon the wintry night,
Melodies of Christmas time.
As of old the Yule log bring,
Bind the holly round the hall;
At the gate the minstrel sing
Messages of Peace to all.
Chorus:
Voices of the belfry height,
Pealing forth your merry chimes,
Sound upon the wintry night,
Melodies of Christmas time.
- Voices of the Christmas morn,
Calling to the sleeping West,
Ere the crimson light is born,
And the stars are gone to rest;
Wake the traveller who lies
Lost upon the frozen earth,
Underneath the snowy skies,
Dreaming of the Christmas hearth.
Chorus:
- Voices of the Christmas Day,
May your echoes never cease,
As the seasons pass away,
Heralding a world's increase;
Through the mysteries of years,
Stands above the truth divine,
Through the clouds, the darkest fears,
Starlike will it ever shine.
Chorus:
