Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells! O how cold the winter! Will you let Me enter? Do not bar the doorway On my blessed birthday! Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells!2. Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells! Maid and Infant tender, Will you let us enter? To us shelter giving, And the Father praising? Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells!3. Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells! In our hearts now stealing, ‘Mid the bells all pealing, Joy and blessing holy From the Child so lowly, Ring, bells, go ting-a-ling-a-ling, Ring, little bells!Germain:1. Kling, Glöckchen, klin-ge-lin-ge-ling, Kling, Glöckchen, kling! Laßt mich ein, ihr Kinder, Ist so kalt der Winter, Öffnet mir die Türen, Laßt mich nicht erfrieren.

Kling, Glöckchen, klin-ge-lin-ge-ling, Kling, Glöckchen, kling! Hell erglühn die Kerzen, Öffnet mir die Herzen! Will drin wohnen fröhlich, Frommes Kind, wie selig! Kling, Glöckchen, klin-ge-lin-ge-ling, Kling, Glöckchen, kling!
