Down in Yon Forest Songtext
von The Voice Squad

Down in yon forest there stands a hall:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
Things covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Down in that hall there is a bed:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
All scarlet, the cover, the cover it spread
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.


And on that the bed there lies a knight:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
And he doth bleed by day and by night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down under that bed there runs a flood:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
The one half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Down at the bed′s foot there springs a thorn:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
The bloom bits white blossom the day he was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.


And over that place the moon shines bright:
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
To show that our saviour was born on that night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
