A Ding Dong of a Song!

orchidee



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
