Barbara Dickson - Down In Yon Forest lyrics
rate meDown in yon forest there's stands a hall<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
It's covered all over with purple and pall<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything<br />
<br />
In that hall there stands a bed<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
It's covered all over with scarlet so red<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything<br />
<br />
At the bed side there lies a stone<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
Which the sweet virgin Mary knelt upon<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything<br />
<br />
Under that bed there runs a flood<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
The one half runs water<br />
And other runs blood<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything<br />
<br />
At the bed's foot there grows a thorn<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
Whichever blows blossoms<br />
Since He was born<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything<br />
<br />
Over that bed the moon shines bright<br />
The bells of paradise I heard them ring<br />
Denoting our Saviour was born this night<br />
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything</
