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
Note: "Swungen" and "Sungen" in the second verse are archaic English verb forms. They are sometimes rendered into their more modern past-tense forms of "swung" and "sung" for performance today, which somewhat alters the balance of that verse. The refrain is sung twice after every verse.
