The Bells of Paradise

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
And 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
And it's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

On that bed there lies a knight
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Whose wounds have been bleeding day and night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Next to that bed there stands a stone
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Which the Virgin Mary knelt upon
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Beneath 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 foot of that bed there grows a thorn
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Which ever bore blossom since he was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Over that hall the moon shines bright
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Denoting a savior was born there that night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
