You will hear a recording of the WGHS Choir singing the Ding Dong Merrily on High.

I hope that it will bring back happy memories of Christmas past at WGHS.

Perhaps you could settle down with a mince pie to listen to the recording...

Happy Christmas!

Ding Dong Merrily On High

Words: George Ratcliffe Woodward, 1848-1934

Tune: Brane de l'Official, from Thoinot Arbeau's Orchesographie, (1588)

************

1. 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, Hosannah in excelsis!

2. E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And i-o, i-o, i-o
By priest and people be sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Gloria, Hosannah in excelsis!

3. Pray you dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rhyme
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosannah in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosannah in excelsis!
