Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958
4
Down in yon forest there stands a hall:
5
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
6
It's covered all over with purple and pall
7
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
8
In that hall there stands a bed:
9
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
10
It's covered all over with scarlet so red:
11
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
12
At the bed-side there lies a stone:
13
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
14
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon:
15
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
16
Over that bed the moon shines bright:
17
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:
18
Denoting our Saviour was born this night:
19
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
