Down in yon forest there stands a hall,
  The bells of Paradise I heard them ring;
  It's covered all over with purple so tall
  And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing.
  
  In that hall there stands a bed,
  It's covered all over with scarlet so red.
  
  At the bedside there lies a stone
  Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon.
  
  Under that bed there runs a river
  The one hald runs water, the other runs blood.
  
  At the foot of the bed there grows a thorn
  Which ever blows blossom sinc He was born.
  Over that bed the moon shines bright,
  Denoting our Saviour was born this night.
