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.
