St. Hilary's Miniature Church Advent Calendar 2009

Wednesday 23rd December 2009

The church pets and wildlife are anticipating the arrival of Christmas as they hear the bells being rung...........by pulling a few crackers in the bell tower..................and which carol reminds them of the bells?......................see below..............

 

 

ing dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
