[Verse 1]
G D7 When Joseph went to Bethlehem, I think he took great care G Am Em D7 To place his tools and close his shop and leave no shavings there. G D7 He urged the donkey forward then, with Mary on its back, G Am C G And carried bread and goat cheese in a little linen sack.
[Verse 2]
G D7 I think there at the busy inn that he was meek and mild G Am Em D7 And awed to be the guardian of Mary’s sacred child. G D7 Perhaps all through the chilly hours he smoothed the swaddling bands, G Am C G And Jesus felt the quiet strength of Joseph’s gentle hands.
[Verse 3]
G D7 And close beside the manger bed, he dimmed the lantern’s light G Am C G And held the little Jesus close upon that holy night.
