Lyrics Down In Yon Forrest - Joan Baez

Down In Yon Forrest

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.
