Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ding dong! Merrily on high

In Heaven, the bells are ringing

Ding dong verily the sky

Is riv'n with angel singing

Gloria

Hosanna in excelsis

Gloria

Hosanna in excelsis

[Verse 2]

E'en so here below, below

Let steeple bells be swungen

And lo, io, io

By priest and people sungen

Gloria

Hosanna in excelsis

Hosanna in excelsis

[Verse 3]

Pray you, dutifully prime

Your matin chime, ye ringers

May you beautifully rime

Your evetime song, ye singers

Gloria

Hosanna in excelsis
