4. “Sire! the night is darker now, And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, good my page; Tread thou in them boldly; Thou shalt find the winter’s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly.” 5. In his master’s steps he trod Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the saint had printed. Therefore Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing. [Illustration] [Music: Good King Wenceslas] [Illustration] As Joseph was a-walking [Illustration] [Music] 1. As Joseph was a-walking He heard an angel sing, “This night shall be the birthtime Of Christ, the Heavenly King. 2. “He neither shall be born In housen nor in hall. Nor in the place of Paradise, But in an ox’s stall. 3. “He neither shall be clothed In purple nor in pall, But in the fair white linen That usen babies all. 4. “He neither shall be rocked In silver nor in gold, But in a wooden manger That resteth on the mould.” 5. As Joseph was a-walking, There did an angel sing; And Mary’s child at midnight Was born to be our King. 6. Then be ye glad, good people, This night of all the year, And light ye up your candles, For His star it shineth clear. [Illustration] Christmas Day in the Morning [Illustration] [Music] 1. I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; I saw three ships come sailing in, On Christmas Day in the morning. 2. And what was in those ships all three On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And what was in those ships all three On Christmas Day in the morning? 3. Our Saviour Christ and His lady On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Our Saviour Christ and His lady On Christmas Day in the morning. 4. Pray whither sailed those ships all three On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Pray whither sailed those ships all three On Christmas Day in the morning? 5. O they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; O they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas Day in the morning. 6. And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day in the morning. 7. And all the angels in Heaven shall sing On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the angels in Heaven shall sing On Christmas Day in the morning. 8. And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas Day in the morning. 9. Then let us all rejoice amain On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Then let us all rejoice amain On Christmas Day in the morning.
