A Christmas-bell Drill
By ELLA M. POWERS.
(This drill may be given by eight little girls provided with
wands. At the top of each wand are tacked three streamers of
red, white, and blue ribbon or cambric. At the end of each
streamer a little tinkling bell is sewed. The children sing,
and wave wands in time to the music. The words may be sung to
the tune of “Lightly Row.”)
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Happy bells of Christmas time;
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Christ the Lord is born.
Christ is born, our Saviour dear,
Joyous words we love to hear;
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Christ the Lord is born.
(Between first and second verses, all march singing same tune
to “Tra la la.”–”Tra la la,” wands waving, up, down, right,
left, up, down, right left, throughout. Resume places and sing
second verse.)
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Happy bells of Christmas time;
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Glory be to God.
Let us carol sweetly then,
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Sweetly chime, sweetly chime,
Christ the Lord is born.
(All march out, singing, and waving wands.)
