Carols of The Bells

Carol Of The Bells

Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air

Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home

Ding, dong, ding, dong.


This song is composed by Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych (1877-1921) in 1916 which was originally titled Shchedryk. It is a Ukranian folk song about a sparrow and the bountiful year that awaits a family. It was first performed in the Ukraine on the night of January 13, 1916, on the Julian calendar this is considered New Year's Eve. In the United States the song was first performed on October 5, 1921 at Carnegie Hall. 

Carol of the Bells, also known as the Ukrainian Carol, was adapted from Shchedryk by Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921), which was first performed in December 1916 by students at Kiev University. The original Ukrainian song is based on an old Slavic legend that every bell in the world rang in honour of Jesus on the night of his birth.

Counting Lord's Grace 数算主恩

主的恩典样样都要数
主的恩典都要记清楚
主的恩典样样都要数
必能叫你惊讶主奇妙看顾

Stepping a new year ahead, everyone has their own New Year Resolution. Sometimes it's quite difficult to set a goal for a new year as you don't know what will happen and what changes will take place in a new year. So, why don't try to count God's grace instead. Try to count His grace upon us in this whole year and you will see how God has bless us and guide us through this whole year. You will also realise that the list will go on and on and on, never meet an ending. It means God is always there to guide us and bless as He never abandon us^^


~ Happy New Year 2011!!! ~
