1.	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. 
Refrain: 
	He came among us at Christmastime, 
	at Christmastime, in Bethlehem; 
	let us bring him from far and wide Love's diadem: 
	Jesus, Jesus, 
	lo, he comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us! 

2.	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. 
	(Refrain) 

3.	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. 
	(Refrain)
