As Joseph was awalking, he heard an angel sing: 'This night
there shall be born on earth our heav'nly King.'
'He neither shall be born 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 all in
fair linen as wear the babies all.'
'He neither shall be rocked in silver nor in gold, but in a
wooden cradle that rocks upon the mould.'
'He neither shall be christened in white wine nor red, But
with fair spring water as we were christened.'
