Ding dong! Merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel-singing.
Glo------------------------------ria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Glo------------------------------ria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
2. E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And io, io, io,
By priest and people sungen:
Glo------------------------------ria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Glo------------------------------ria,
3. Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rhyme
Your e'entime song, ye singers.
Glo------------------------------ria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Glo------------------------------ria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be?
Which inspire your heavenly songs?
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
