Lyrics

Ding-dong! Merrily on high in heaven the bells are ringing
Ding-dong! Verily the sky is riven with angels singing
"Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!""Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!"

E′en so, here below, below, let steeple bells be swungen
And i-o, i-o, i-o, by priest and people sungen
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime, your matin chime, you ringers
May you beautifully rhyme, your eve time song, you singers
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, hosanna in excelsis!
