Ding Dong Merrily on High (Lyrics) Words: George Ratcliffe Woodward / Stanzas 2 and 3: Randy Vader Music: Tune: 16th Century French Ding dong! Merrily on high in Heaven the bells are ringing; Ding dong! Verily the sky is filled with Angel singing. Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria! They sing Gloria! Hosanna in the highest! Steeple bells are caroling They chime in glorious praises; Joining children as they sing Like ancient Angel voices. Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria! They sing Gloria! Hosanna in the highest! Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains; And the mountains in reply, Echo back their joyous strains. Singing, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Join the chorus of the bells And sing a song of glory; As the host of Heaven tells The blessed Christmas story. Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria! They sing Gloria! Hosanna in the highest! Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing! Hosanna in the highest! Ding dong! Merrily on high Hosanna in the highest! © 2014 PraiseGathering Music (Admin. by Music Services. www.musicservices.org). All Rights Reserved.
