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

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!
