The Cambridge Carol Book/From Galilee they came

by George Ratcliffe Woodward

IX. FROM GALILEE THEY CAME

1.From Galilee they came,
Saint Joseph and his Dame:
O'er hill they speed, nor dally up valley, up valley:
O'er hill they speed, nor dally up valley, O la!

2.When night fell dark and chill,
And wind 'gan whistle shrill,
Went Joseph and his Dearie, aweary, aweary,
Went Joseph and his Dearie, aweary, O la!

3.Arriv'd in Bethlehem,
There was but found for them
(The best that they were able) a stable, a stable,
('Twas all that they were able), a stable, O la!
