Arr. John Rutter
Down in yon forest there stands a hall:
The bells of paradise I heard them ring:
It’s cover’d 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 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.
The bells of paradise I heard them ring:
It’s cover’d 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 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.
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.
Over that bed the moon shines bright:
The bells of paradise I heard them ring:
Denoting our Savior was born this night:
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
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.
Over that bed the moon shines bright:
The bells of paradise I heard them ring:
Denoting our Savior was born this night:
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
