Why Do The Bells Christmas Ring Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

Why do the bells of Christmas ring?
Why do little children sing?

Once a lovely shining star,
Seen by shepherds from afar,
Gently moved until its light
Made a manger's cradle bright.

There a darling baby lay,
Pillowed soft upon the hay;
And its mother sung and smiled:
'This is Christ, the holy Child! '

Therefore bells for Christmas ring,
Therefore little children sing.
