Tune: Branle de L\'officiel
(\'Ding, dong! Merrily on high\')
**********
Ding, dong! raise a joyful song
Let bells peal out all day long
Ding, dong! join the angel hosts
Praise the Lord to earth\'s far coasts
Chrous
Alle---luia! He the King of glory, see
Alle---luia! Endless glory to Him be
Man no more need stay in sin
But can be cleansed from within
Avail self of Christ\'s blood pure
Forgiven, set free for sure - Chorus
Sinners can attain such state
Knowing God\'s wrath not their fate
Jesus, Saviour for each one
The redemption work has done - Chorus
And all nature shares in joy
Renewed delights none destroy
Bright beams of mercy and grace
And love shine forth from His face - Chorus
So all instruments take part
Sing, praise Him with your whole heart
Light and life, human, divine
Jesus, the God-man true, fine - Chorus
Come, you folk of each nation
Whate\'er your creed, race, station
In Christ your salvation find
And be to Him full aligned - Chorus
