Letra de Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine

"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 Christmastide, At Christmastide, 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! "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] Peace to all that have goodwill! God, who heaven and earth doth fill, Comes to turn us away from ill, And lies so still Within the crib of Mary. [Chorus] 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] Now is born Emmanual, Prophesied once by Ezekiel, Promised Mary by Gabriel, Ah, who can tell Thy praises, Son of Mary. [Chorus] Thou my lazy heart hast stirred, Thou, the Father's eternal Word, Greater than aught that ear has heard, Thou tiny bird Of love, thou Son of Mary. [Chorus] Sweet and lovely little one, Thou princely, beautiful, God's own Son, Without thee all of us were undone; Our love is Won By thing, O Son of Mary. [Chorus] Little man, and God indeed, Little and poor, thou art all we need; We will follow where thou dost lead, And we will heed Our brother, born of Mary. [Chorus]
