Over Yonder's A Park Lyrics

1. Over yonder's a park which is newly begun,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which is silver on the outside and gold within,
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

2. And in the park there stands a hall,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which is covered all over with purple and pall,
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

3. And in that hall there stands a bed,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which is hung all round with silk curtains red,
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

4. And in that bed there lies a knight,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Whose wounds they do bleed by day and by night,
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

5. At that bedside there lies a stone,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon,
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

6. At that bed's foot there lies a hound,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which is licking the blood as it daily runs down.
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.

7. At that bed's head there grows a thorn,
All bells in Paradise I heard them a-ring,
Which ever blows blossom since Christ was born
And I love sweet Jesus above all thing.
