The lyrics focus on the sound of bells ringing, spreading good cheer and calling people to set aside their cares. It emphasizes the festive atmosphere of Christmas, bringing joy to all, young and old. The song repeatedly declares 'Merry Christmas' as a greeting of goodwill.

Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away

Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold

Hear how they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Oh how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale

On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home

Hear how they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Hear how they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Hear how they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas
