Intro

Down in yon forest there stands a hall

The bells of paradise I heard them ring

It's gilded all over with purple and pall

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down in that hall there lay a bed

The voices of heaven, here in my head

All scarlet the cover that over it spread

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down under that bed there runs a flood

The bells of heaven I heard them ring

Half of them water and half of them blood

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down at the bed feet there grows a thorn

Voices of heaven I hear them sing

It blooms its white blossoms the day he was born

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
