The Antrim hills 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
A star of light did fill the night
Many years ago
When the maji found the blessed child
Who set our hearts aglow
And since that day of wonder
We'll live forever more
We hail the newborn King of Kings
Who opened Heaven's 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
And 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 drink a cup of kindness yet
For days of "auld lang sien"
