Down in yon forest there stands a hall Bells of paradise, I heard them ring It's covered all over with purple and pall And I love my lord Jesus above anything There in that hall there stands a bed Bells of paradise, I heard them ring It's covered all over with scarlet so red And I love my lord Jesus above anything Under that bed there runs a flood Bells of paradise, I heard them ring 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 Bells of paradise, I heard them ring It blooms its white blossoms the day he was born And I love my lord Jesus above anything
