Ding Dong
St. Satan Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ding! dong! merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing: Ding! dong! verily the sky
Is riven 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!
