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

Ding, dong indeed. Its those flaming bells again.
THE BELLS! THE BELLS!!
Thanks Gold lol. Quasimodo's on holiday, so they wheeled me out instead to ring them bells!
Are you dinging your dong Orchi?
Thanks M. lol. I might swoon if I did! You done that lunch?
Lunch over
lamb today
belly full
now in clover.
That evening started yet? if so, how's it going?
Burrrp !
Now I want lamb - RIGHT NOW!
Sorry Lorna but it's baaa'd
Sorry, I interrupted..........not polite......... I'm going to buy lamb today.
Interrupt as often as you like - enjoy that lamb. Especially with fresh mint sauce - mind you it MUST be fresh.
Ahhhhhhh it grows in my garden and I have some in the freezer from the summer.... close as I can get. I make mint sauce! Surprisingly easy!
Ask one of the Berles family to get you some lamb in. There's hundreds of them it seems - Cilla Berles (syllables), Ram Berles, Cob Berles, Sim (Simon?) Berles, etc, etc!
THANKS UNCLE STEVE : Angela here I love a bit of ding dong especially the Christmas Bells ! Love this version very lively ! Love the POEM : Much food for thought @ Christmas time : AMEN
Love in the Spirit ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
You have bells in your belfry Orchi..........
Thanks Lorna. Yes lol!
We love to hear you ding.........
Ahem, as I say, if I ding my dong, I might swoon! I cannot ogive further details, or Fido, my 18+ watchdog will bark, and say I should have ticked the 18+ box! heehee. A talking dog - oh yes!
Oh you wicked old thing........ now I'm going to swoon.............
You might be distracted by the talking (and reading) dog!
