Ding dong! merrily on high 
In heav'n the bells are ringing: 
Ding dong! verily the sky 
Is riv'n with Angel singing. 
 
REFRAIN 
Gloria, 
Hosanna in excelsis! 
 
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; 
May you beautifully rime 
Your evetime song, ye singers. 
 
REFRAIN
