1. When Joseph went to Bethlehem, I think he took great care
To place his tools and close his shop and leave no shavings there.
He urged the donkey forward then, with Mary on its back,
And carried bread and goat cheese in a little linen sack.

2. I think there at the busy inn that he was meek and mild
And awed to be the guardian of Mary's sacred child.
Perhaps all through the chilly hours he smoothed the swaddling bands,
And Jesus felt the quiet strength of Joseph's gentle hands.

3. And close beside the manger bed, he dimmed the lantern's light
And held the little Jesus close upon that holy night.

A son départ pour Bethléhem,
Joseph a pris bien soin
De tout ranger dans l'atelier car ils allaient très loin.

Plaçant Marie sur l'âne gris, il se mit en chemin,
Emportant dans un petit sac du fromage et du pain.

Devant la porte de l'auberge, il resta doux, je crois,
Intimidé par sa mission: veiller sur l'enfant Roi.
Sans doute passa-t-il la nuit à tout bien préparer.
Jésus, dans les mains de Joseph sentit force et bonté.

Voilant l'éclat de la lanterne au-dessus du berceau,
Il tint, serré tout contre lui, Jésus comme un joyau.
