Saint Joseph, meek and mild, Embraced the new-born Child, Then knelt upon the sod: The old man, well aware That Deity lay there, Adored the Child as God. Full fain was he to own Yonder Babe, the source alone Of health and wealth and light, As awestruck he did bless The Sun of righteousness. Sooth, 'twas a wondrous sight; Sooth, 'twas a wondrous sight. 2. Who gave me charge and care Of God's own Son and Heir? The Lord, I well dare say. The Mother-maid - as blind 'Twas once within my mind To put her clean away; Now knew, that she, most blest, Ever-Virgin, in her breast Such priceless Jewell bare - A heav'nly Pearl, the which Poor Joseph shall enrich O'er all men everywhere. 3. Mine ancestor of yore Was David; he that wore The royal crown by right: Howbeit, I from great Fell into low estate, - Am but a timber-wright: Yet, Son of David, thou Wilt ere long upon my brow Set kingly diadem: Meanwhile, mine arms enfold The King of kings, of old - The Babe of Bethlehem.
