[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!
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
