[Music]
1. As Joseph was a-walking / He heard an angel sing, / "This night shall be the birthtime / Of Christ, the Heavenly King.
2. "He neither shall be born / In housen nor in hall. / Nor in the place of Paradise, / But in an ox's stall.
3. "He neither shall be clothed / In purple nor in pall, / But in the fair white linen / That usen babies all.
4. "He neither shall be rocked / In silver nor in gold, / But in a wooden manger / That resteth on the mould."
5. As Joseph was a-walking, / There did an angel sing; / And Mary's child at midnight / Was born to be our King.
6. Then be ye glad, good people, / This night of all the year, / And light ye up your candles, / For His star it shineth clear.
