Ding dong merrily on high,
In heaven the bells rings
Ding dong verily the sky
Is revealing angel singing
Gloria Hosanna in excesses
Even so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swinging,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sunging
Gloria Hosanna in excesses
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers,
May you beautifully rhyme
Your E' time song, ye singers
Gloria Hosanna in excesses
Gloria Hosanna in excesses
