Carol of the Bells is a popular Christmas carol composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914 with lyrics by Peter J Wilhousky. The song is based on a Ukrainian folk chant called Shchedryk. Wilhousky's lyrics are copyrighted, although the original musical composition is not.[1]

Sample verse[2]:
Oh how they pound, (Oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale. (Telling their tale)
