Ding-dong, ding:
Ding-a-dong-a-ding:
Ding-dong, ding-dong:
Ding-a-dong-ding.
1. Up! good Christen folk, and listenDing-dong, ding:
How the merry church bells ring,
And from steeple
Bid good people
Come adore the new-born King:
2. Tell the story how from glory
God came down at Christmastide,
Bringing gladness,
Chasing sadness,
Show'ring blessings far and wide.
3. Born of mother, blest o'er other,
Ex Maria Virgine,
In a stable
('Tis no fable),
Christus natus hodie.
Ding-a-dong-a-ding:
Ding-dong, ding-dong:
Ding-a-dong-ding.
Words: George Ratcliffe Woodward (1901)
Tune from Piae Cantiones (1582)
