Ding Dong! Merrily on High

by George Ratcliffe Woodward

1 Ding dong, merrily on high! In heav’n the bells are ringing; ding dong, verily the sky is riv’n with angel singing. Gloria, hosannah in excelsis! Gloria, hosannah in excelsis! 2 E'en so here below, below, let steeple bells be swungen, And io, io, io, by priest and people sungen. Gloria, hosannah in excelsis! Gloria, hosannah in excelsis! 3 Pray ye dutifully prime your matin chime, ye ringers; may ye beautifully rhyme your evetime song, ye singers. Gloria, hosannah in excelsis! Gloria, hosannah in excelsis!
