The Corpus Christi Carol
1.
Over yonder's a park which is newly begun,
All bells in Paradise I hear them ring ,
Which is silver on the outside and gold within,
And I love sweet Jesus above a thing.
2.
And in that park there stands a hall,
Which is covered all over with purple and pall.
3.
And in that hall there stands a bed.
Which is hung all round with silk curtains red.
4.
And in that bed there lies a knight,
Whose wounds they do bleed by day and by night.
5.
At that bed side there lies a stone,
Which is our blessed Virgin Mary then kneeling on.
6.
At that bed's foot there lies a hound,
Which is licking the blood as it daily runs down.
7.
At that bed's head there grows a thorn,
Which was never so blossomed since Christ was born.
