I am seeking information re: the origins of some common Christmas carols. They are: Joy To The World, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, Silent Night. I've been able to find out some on each of these in the Cyberhymnal and a few other micronuggets from other more or less reliable sources. The DT is a bit short on source info. ALSO, anyone besides me know this one: "The Merry, Merry Christmas Bells"? It goes "Oh hear them ring, those merry, merry Christmas bells, the merry, merry bells, the ringing of the Christmas bells. There's more to it, but that's the chorus, and I'm beginning to think it's a local wonder. P.S. Thanks, Susan for your help.
