Ding Dong Merrily On High - Day 15

The tune for this popular carol originally had nothing to do with Christmas! It was actually a standard tune used for French dances over 400 years ago. George Ratcliffe Woodyard wrote the lyrics and published it in his Cambridge Carol Book in 1924.

It is a joyful song, describing the skies full of angels singing about the Messiah’s birth. You can’t help singing and joining in the celebration as well!
