Ding dong merrily on high,
in heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong! verily the sky,
is riv'n with angel singing.
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!
Pray you, dutifully prime,
your matin chime, ye ringers
May you beautifully rime,
your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria. . . . . . . .
Hosanna in excelsis!
