Down in yon forest there stands a hall The bells of paradise I heard them ring Covered all over with purple and pall And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
And in that hall there stands a bed The bells of paradise I heard them ring Covered all over with scarlet so red And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
And at the bed side there stands a stone The bells of paradise I heard them ring Where the sweet Virgin Mary has 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, the 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 Which ever blows blossom since Adam was born And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
