|
Down in yon forest there stands a hall |
|
Bells of paradise I hear 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 |
|
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 |
|
Bells of heaven I hear them ring |
|
Half run in water |
|
Half run in 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 |
