Ding dong! Merrily on high

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH

1. 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!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
2. 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!
3. Pray you, dutifully prime your Matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rhyme your Evetime Song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
