Down in yon forest there stands a hall...
|
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring...
|
It's covered all over with purple and pall
|
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
|
|
In that hall there stands a bed...
|
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring...
|
It's covered all over with scarlet so red...
|
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
|
|
At the bed-side there lies a stone...
|
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring...
|
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon...
|
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
|
|
Over that bed the moon shines bright...
|
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring...
|
Denoting our Saviour was born this night...
|
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
