Down in Yon Forest
Traditional
[Verse 1]
Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of paradise I hear them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love the Lord Jesus above anything
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
At the bedside there lies a stone
Thе bells of paradise I hear thеm ring
Which the Virgin Mary knelt upon
And I love the Lord Jesus above anything
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
[Verse 4]
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
