Down in yon forest there stands a hall
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

Under that bed there runs a flood
Bells of Paradise, I heard them ring
One half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
The bells of Paradise, I heard them ring
It bloomed its white blossoms the day he was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
