#7 - Ding Dong Merrily on High



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!
Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis!



E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.



Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis!




Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.

Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria,
Hosanna in excelsis!

I love pulling out our copy of Little Women at Christmas time. It's such a sweet story! In the version we own, they sing this song on Christmas Eve at the beginning of the movie. :~)
