Song of the Crib

_x005F_x000D_

Joseph dearest, Joseph mine,

_x005F_x000D_

Help me cradle the child divine;

_x005F_x000D_

God reward thee and all that’s thine in Paradise,

_x005F_x000D_

So prays the mother Mary.

_x005F_x000D_

He came among us at Christmas tide,

_x005F_x000D_

At Christmas tide, in Bethlehem;

_x005F_x000D_

Men shall bring him from far and wide

_x005F_x000D_

Love’s diadem:

_x005F_x000D_

Jesus, Jesus,

_x005F_x000D_

Lo, he comes, and loves, and saves and frees us.

_x005F_x000D_
