Ding dong! merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riven with angels singing.
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And io, io,io,
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you dutifully prime
Your matin chime ye ringers.
May you beautifully rime
Your eve time song ye singers.
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
