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
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!
