Lyrics:

Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav`n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the skyIs 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!
