- "Joseph, Dearest Joseph mine,
- Help me cradle the Child divine.
- God reward thee and all that’s thine,
- In paradise," so prays the mother Mary.
- Chorus
- He came among us at Christmas time
- At Christmas time in Bethlehem
- Men shall bring him from far and wide,
- Love’s diadem
- Jesus, Jesus;
- Lo, he comes and loves and saves and frees us. [1]
- "Gladly dear one, Lady mine
- Help I cradle this Child of thine."
- "God’s own light on us both shall shine,
- In paradise," as prays the mother Mary. Chorus
- Servant 1:
- Peace to all that have goodwill!
- God, who heaven and earth doth fill,
- Comes to turn us away from ill,
- As all may see In Jesus, Son of Mary. [2] Chorus
- Servant 2:
- All shall come and bow the knee,
- Wise and happy their souls shall be.
- Loving such a divinity as all may see
- In Jesus Son of Mary. Chorus
- Servant 3:
- Now is born Emmanual,
- Prophesied once by Ezekiel,
- Promised Mary by Gabriel, Ah, who can tell
- Thy praises, Son of Mary. Chorus
- Servant 4:
- Thou my lazy heart hast stirred,
- Thou, The Father's eternal Word,
- Greater than aught that ear hath heard,
- Thou tiny bird of love, Thou Son of Mary. Chorus
- Servant 1:
- Sweet and lovely little one,
- Thou princely, beautiful, God's own Son,
- Without Thee all of us were undone;
- Our love is won by Thine, O Son of Mary. Chorus
- Servant 2:
- Little man, and God indeed,
- Little and poor, Thou art all we need;
- We will follow where Thou dost lead,
- And we will head our brother, born of Mary. Chorus
