Full Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Ding! Dong! Merrily on high in heav'n the bells are ringing
Verily the sky is riv'n with angels singing
[VERSE 2]
E'en so here below, below Let steeple bells be swungen
And io, io, io, By priests and people sungen
[VERSE 3]
Pray you dutifully prime Your matin chime, ye singers
May you beautifully rhyme Your evetime song, ye singers
[CHORUS]
Gloria! Hossana in excelsis.
[BRIDGE 1]
Ding dong merrily on high the Christmas bells are ringing
Ding dong heav'n and earth reply with angels voices singing
Gloria! Sing glory to the highest
Gloria! Sing glory to the highest
[VERSE 4]
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon the night though the frost was cruel
When the poor man came in sight gathering winter fuel
[BRIDGE 2]
Ding Dong Merrily on high the Christmas bells are ringing
Ding Dong heav'n and earth reply with angel voices singing
Gloria! Sing glory to the highest
Gloria! Sing glory to the highest
Gloria! Sing glory, Sing glory, to the highest
Gloria! Sing glory, Sing glory to the highest
