[Refrain:]
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! [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/christmas_songs/ding_dong_merrily_on_high.html ]
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
[Refrain]
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
