Barbara Dickson - Down In Yon Forest lyrics

rate me

Down 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</
