Christmas Carols, Songs and Lyrics

Start your Christmas season by adding to your knowledge some of the sounds of the season.  Where hear and sing modern and traditional Christmas carols to celebrate the season - but do we actually know the words?

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!
