The Decree
Then Gabriel came and said to Joseph alone"Do not be afraid to make Mary your ownBut go to your betrothed and then be marriedThe child is Heaven sent"And it came to passThat there went out a decreeFrom Caesar AugustusThat all the world would be taxedAnd each went to be taxed to his own citySo Joseph also wentWith his lady innocentWith his lady innocentThe lions in the mountainsLet them pass and followedClose by night to guard themFrom Galilee to BethlehemShe journeyed with only a donkey to rideWith Joseph walking besideCame to David's cityWhile she was great with childThrough a country dark and wildSongtexteThrough a country dark and wildAnd on the far horizonRose a strange and brilliantStar as though to guide them
