recorder, violin, lute, bass, glockenspiel

Ding dong! Merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing;
Ding dong! Verily the sky
Is riv'n with angels singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "i-o, i-o, i-o",
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 eve-time song, ye singers!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
