Ok, this is frustrating:

I did a search on part of the lyrics posted by the OP:

"those Christmas bells as on the air their music swells"

This came up in Google:

When I tried to open the link my virus checker - which may just be in 2021 COVID overload, who knows? - refused to let me go to that website.

The Google search result gives the next line of the lyrics which is the same as the next line posted by Guest on 15 Dec 14 - 02:25 PM.

Search result:

Oer Hill And Dell The Christmas Bell Pure sheet music for choir by ...
https://r9.introduction-from.org.ru › ...
Those christmas bells, those christmas bells as on the air their music swells of love and peace and joy they tell we love to hear those christmas bells.

A braver soul than me might want to try to open the webpage, but....

So, then I tried Googling for "Oer Hill And Dell The Christmas Bell"

and this is one of the search results showing the index and that carol is on page 262:

Carols Old
and Carols New for Use at Christmas and Other Seasons of the Christian Year by Charles Lewis Hutchins, Parish choir, 1916

Also the sheet music to that song by Henry Knight

Not knowing the carol or the tune puts this retired librarian at a disadvantage to know whether this is the correct song or just another song with a similar part of the lyrics to The Christmas Bells.


THEN Google threw up (pun intended) a bunch of weird stuff which looks like a glimpse into some sort of dark, nasty parallel universe. Don't want to go there, no Siree! Look but don't touch.

Still looking.
