Corpus Christi Carol





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.



From Lloyd, Folk Song in England
