Tour Scotland 4K travel video of Ding Dong Merrily on High music being played by a Brass Band on Christmas Eve visit to a Scottish church in Britain, United Kingdom. Christmas Eve is on Saturday 24 December 2022. Christmas Day is on Sunday, 25 December, 2022. Christmas is a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas, meaning mass on Christ’s day, is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages, Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French, all probably denote nativity. The German word Weihnachten denotes hallowed night.
Ding 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 i-o, i-o, i-o
By priest and people be sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Pray ye dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May ye beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
