Lyrics of As joseph was a walking

As joseph was a-walking
He heard an angel sing
This night shall be the birth time
Of christ the heavenly king

As joseph was a-walking
He heard an angel sing
This night shall be the birth time
Of christ the heavenly king

He neither shall be borned
In housen nor in hall
Nor in the place of paradise
But in an ox's stall

He neither shall be clothed
In purple nor in pall
But in fair white linen
As usen babies all

He neither shall be rocked
In silver nor in gold
But in a wooden cradle
That rocks upon the mold

He neither shall be christen'd
In white wine nor in red
But in the fair spring water
With which we were christened

He neither shall be borned
In housen nor in hall
Nor in the place of paradise
But in an ox's stall

As joseph was a-walking
He heard the angel sing
This night shall be the birth time
Of christ the heavenly king

Allelulah
Allelulah
Allelulah
Allelulah

Allelulah
Allelulah
Allelulah
Allelulah
