Down in Yon Forest |
| 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 |
