Ding Dong Merrily On High Woodward / Arbeau / Stauff Ding dong! Merrily on high, in Heav'n the bells are ringing, Ding dong! Verily the sky is riv'n with angel singing. Gloria, hosannah in the highest! E’en so here below, below, let steeple bells be swungen, And hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, by priest and people sungen. Gloria, hosannah in the highest! Pray ye dutifully, prime your matin chime, ye ringers; May ye beautifully rime your evetime song, ye singers. Gloria, hosannah in the highest!
