1. As Joseph was a walking, He heard the angel sing, This night shall be the birth-time Of Christ, the heav'nly King. 2. He neither shall be born In houses 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.
