THE MARRIAGE OF MARY
March and her carpenter had wed
Joseph was making the little Lord's cradle
"A beautiful couple," the Nazarenes said
Mary cleaned house and kept a good table
The birth date of her little Son drew near
All the Baby's clothes were ready made
But Mary could not hide a pang of fear
What would the neighbours say about the date?
Caesar Augustus saved the day for them
Proclaiming registration in each town
David their ancestor was from Bethlehem
With Mary on a donkey they went down
From neighbours' busy tongues the bride was saved
As Joseph and Mary the cold snowstorms braved
