Lyrics
Then Joseph feared greatly
And stopped talking with her
Considering what he would do
Night came upon him
Behold, behold an angel of the Lord
Appeared to him in a dream
Saying, "Joseph, thou son of David
Fear not, fear not to take unto thee
Mary, thy wife
For that which is conceived in her
Is of the Holy Ghost."
"Journey forth with her
And be despised at the inns
And stopping places on the way
Even though you are worthy
To ride in state in a chariot of gold
The large houses and costly apartments
Will remain empty
But this comfort will remain hidden to you
Let Mary labor and give birth
Among animals and beasts of burden
On a cold night in a strange land
And in a poor resting place
And it shall come to pass
That he shall give thee rest from thy sorrow
And from thy fear and from thy hard bondage
Wherein thou wast made to serve."
