Lyrics

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,

A i-o, i-o, i-o, 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!
