Subject: RE: Copyright question: Carol of the Bells
Hi John, I was just working on the same. I also noticed that my printed version has the name Ring, Christmas Bells. I'll PM you some info MMario and I have recently shared.

RING, CHRISTMAS BELLS
(Ukrainian Carol)

Ring, Christ-mas bells,
Mer-ri-ly ring,
Tell all the world
Je-sus is King!

Loud-ly pro-claim
With one ac-cord,>br> The hap-py tale;
Wel-come the Lord!

Ring, Christ-mas bells,
Sound far and near,
The birthday of
Je-sus is here.

Her-ald the news
To old and young,
Tell it to al
In ev'-ry tongue,

Ring, Christ-mas bells,
Toll loud and long,
Your mess-age sweet
Peel and pro-long.

Come, all ye peo-ple,
Join in the sing-ing,
Re-peat the sto-ry
Told by the ring-ing.

Ring-----
Christ-mas bells,
Ring-----
Christ-mas bells.

Loud-ly pro-claim
Wigh one ac-cord,
The hap-py tale;
Wel-come the Lord!

Ring!
Ring!
Ring!

CAROL OF THE BELLS

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,


Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale,


Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,


Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
on without end,
their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong
