As joseph was a-walkingHe heard an angel sing"This night shall be the birth timeOur gracious heavenly kingHe neither shall be bornIn housen nor in hallNor in the place of paradiseBut in an ox's stall. "Allelujah!"He neither shall be clothedIn purple nor in pallBut all in fair white linenAs wear sweet babies allHe neither shall be rockedIn silver nor in goldBut in a wooden cradleThat rocks upon the mould"He neither shall be christen'sIn white wine nor in redBut with the fair spring waterWith which we were christ'ned. "As joseph was a-walkingHe heard an angel sing"This night shall be the birth timeOur gracious heavenly kingAllelujah!
