Up! good Christen folk, and listen    

Ref.: Ding-dong, ding: Ding-a-dong-a-ding.

1) Up! good christen folk, and listen
How the merry church bells ring,
And from steeple bid good people
Come adore the new-born King:

2) Tell the story how from glory
God came down at Christmas-tide,
Bringing gladness, chasing sadness,
Showering blessings far and wide,

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