Then Gabriel came and said to Joseph alone,
|
"Do not be afraid to make Mary your own.
|
But go to your betrothed and then be married-
|
The child is heaven sent."
|
|
And it came to pass that there went out a decree
|
From Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed
|
And each went to be taxed to his own city- So Joseph also went, with his lady innocent...
|
With his lady innocent.
|
|
The lions in the mountains let them pass
|
And followed close by night to guard them
|
|
From Galilee to Bethlehem
|
She journeyed with only a donkey to ride
|
With Joseph walking beside came to David's city
|
While she was great with child
|
- great with child
|
Through a country dark and wild
|
Through a country dark and wild
|
|
And on the far horizon rose a strange and distant star-
|
As though to guide them
|
