Well the antrum hills that are dark and still 
And the snow is tumblin' down
This Christmas time there's hope again 
For all in Belfast Town
With love and understanding we'll find a better way
The gift of peace is ours now upon this Christmas day

Bells over Belfast
How merrily they play
Peace and joy be with you
On this Christmas day

Well the star of light, it filled the night
Many years ago
When the Magi found the blessed Child 
Who set our hearts aglow
And since that day of wonder will live forever more
We hail the newborn King of kings 
Who opened the heavens' door


Bells over Belfast
How merrily they play
Peace and joy be with you
On this Christmas day

We'll dance and sing the new year 
In a share a cup of cheer
And drink to health and happiness 
Throughout the coming year
We'll put our differences aside, our troubles all behind
And take a cup of kindness yet 
For days of auld lang syne

Bells over Belfast
How merrily they play
Peace and joy be with you
On this Christmas day

Bells over Belfast
How merrily they play
Peace and joy be with you
On this Christmas day
