Down in Yon Forrest

Down in yon forest there's 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

The sweet virgin Mary knelt upon

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Under that bed there runs a flood

The bells of paradise I heard them ring

The one half runs water

And other runs blood

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

At the bed's foot there grows a thorn

The bells of paradise I heard them ring

Whichever blows blossoms since He was born

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
