Advent follies, day 5

[lumineaux]

Ok, so I'm really early for the day's Christmas carol.  That's because I'm likely pulling an all-nighter for work.  Lucky, lucky, lucky me.  

First, the relatively well-known carol:

Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
    King forever,
    Ceasing never
Over us all to reign.

Now, the obscure one for extra credit:

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

"We three kings of Orient are"

When I sang in the Methodist Youth Choir, they made us sing all the verses.

I think I know one!

The extra credit one: Ding Dong Merrily on High.

I vaguely remember singing that in church.
