Ding dong merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing
Ding dong, verily the sky
Is riven with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Even 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
