Lyrics Up! good Christen folk, and listen (tune from Piae Cantiones, 1582) - King's College Choir, Cambridge feat. Stephen Cleobury

Ding-dong-ding
Ding-a-dong-a-ding
Ding-dong-ding-dong
Ding-a-dong-ding

Up! Good Christen folk, and listen
How the merry church bells ring
And from steeple bid good people
Come adore the newborn king

Tell the story how from glory
God came down at Christmastide
Bringing gladness, chasing sadness
Show′ring blessings far and wide

Born of mother, blest o'er other
Ex Maria Virgine
In a stable, ′tis no fable
Christus natus hodie

Ding-dong-ding
Ding-a-dong-a-ding
Ding-dong-ding-dong
Ding-a-dong-ding
