Tune: Branle De L\'officiel
(\'Ding, dong! Merrily on high\')
**********
Ding, dong! Here a Saviour born
Upon the first Christmas morn
Bing, bong! Bells small and great sound
Spread the good news all around
Chorus
A-ll-ll-e-lu-ia! Glory to god, peace on earth
A-ll-ll-e-lu-ia! Good news of a Saviour\'s birth
Sing, song! High your joyful praise
Your worthy songs now upraise
Ling[ual], long! Tell it day, night long
Witness with the happy throng - Chorus
Jesus, born in manger bare
The stabled animals there
Viewed the babe, the Prince of Peace
Whose reign it never shall cease - Chorus
Bethlehem, you little town
Now of an endless renown
Light of the world born in you
Revealed, and all may Him view - Chorus
Come, our darkness now dispel
Bells ring out o\'er hill and dell
Ever praise the Christ-child dear
In flesh to man He appears - Chorus
