The Bells of Paradise Lyrics

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
