1. Ding Dong! merrily on high In heav'n the bells are ringing Ding, dong! verily the sky Is riv'n1 with angel singing Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

2. E'en so here below, below Let steeple bells be swungen And i-o, i-o, i-o By priest and people be sungen Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

3. Pray ye dutifully prime Your matin chime, ye ringers May ye beautifully rime2 Your evetime song, ye singers Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.
