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

In that hall there stands a bed
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
It's cover'd all over with scarlet and red
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

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
