Traditional EnglishTune and text collected byRalph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958Down in yon forest there stands a hall: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring: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:It's covered all over with scarlet so red: And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.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.Over that bed the moon shines bright: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:Denoting our Saviour was born this night: And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
