Down in yon forest

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
Bells of paradise, I heard them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my lord Jesus above anything

There in that hall there stands a bed
Bells of paradise, I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my lord Jesus above anything

Under that bed there runs a flood
Bells of paradise, I heard them ring
One half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my lord Jesus above anything

At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
Bells of paradise, I heard them ring
It blooms its white blossoms the day he was born
And I love my lord Jesus above anything
