As Joseph Was A Walking (The Cherry Tree Carol) – Annie LennoxBy As Joseph was a-walkingHe heard an Angel sing:“This night shall be the birth timeOur gracious Heavenly King;He neither shall be bornIn housen nor in hall,Nor in the place of Paradise,But in an ox’s stall.”Allelujah!“He neither shall be clothedIn purple nor in pall;But all in fair white linenAs wear sweet babies all.He neither shall be rockedIn silver nor in gold;But in a wooden cradleThat rocks upon the mould.“He neither shall be christen’sIn white wine nor in red;But 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 King;Allelujah! www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
