Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of Paradise I hear them ring...
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything...
In that hall there stands a bed:
The bells of Paradise I hear them ring...
It's covered all over with scarlet so red:
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything...
At the bedside there lies a stone: ...
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon: ...
Under that bed there runs a flood: ...
The one half runs water, the other runs blood: ...
At the bed's foot there grows a thorne:...
Which ever blows blossom since he was born: ...
Over that bed the moon shines bright: ...
Denoting our Saviour was born this night: ...
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything.
The bells of Paradise I hear them ring...
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything...
