Ding dong! merrily on high
The King's Singers/City of London Sinfonia/Richard Hickox Lyrics

Ding! Dong! Merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding! Dong! Verily the sky
Is 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!
