Christmas Carols

Corpus Christi Carol Lyrics
1. Down in yon forest there stands a hall,
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
It's covered all over with purple and pall [so tall]
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.

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 any thing.

3. At the bedside there lies a stone
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon.
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.

4. Under that bed there runs a flood [river]
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
The one half runs water, the other runs blood.
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.

5. At the foot of the bed there grows a thorn
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
Which ever blooms [blows] blossoms since He was born.
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.

6. Over that bed the moon shines bright,
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
Denoting our Saviour was born on this night.
And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.
