Ding Dong Merrily on High
Ding dong merrily on high,In heav'n the bells are ringing:Ding dong! verily the skyIs 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 primeYour matin chime, ye ringers;May you beautifully rimeYour evetime song, ye singers.Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
