#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. :~)
