Joseph dearest, Joseph mine

Author: German

“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 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.”

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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

Now is born Emmanuel,
Prophesied once by Ezekiel,
Promised Mary by Gabriel -
Ah, who can tell
Thy praises, Son of Mary!

Refrain

Thou my lazy heart hast stirred,
Thou, the Father's eternal Word,
Greater than aught that ear hath heard,
Thou tiny bird
Of love, thou Son of Mary.

Refrain

Sweet an lovely little one,
Thou princely, beautiful, God's own Son,
Without thee all of us were undone;
Our love is won
By thine, O Son of Mary.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

(Note: In about 1500, The Leipzig University wrote- this would make a
beautiful Christmas play children).
