Return to Eight-Bell Christmas

We Wish You a Merry Christmas – Eight handbells

If you’ve been around for even a short while, this English Christmas carol will be familiar to you. Do you remember going out in the cold (and if you’re in the right area, the snow), and then finishing your visit to each house by singing this song?

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding and bring it right here
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

We won’t go until we get some, so bring it right here
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

We all like our figgy pudding with all its good cheers
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
