The Cherry Tree Carol

When Joseph was an old man
An old man was he
He married Virgin Mary
The Queen of Galilee
He married Virgin Mary
The Queen of Galilee
Then spoke the Virgin Mary
So meek and so mild
"Joseph, gather me some cherries,
for I am with child.
Joseph, gather me some cherries,
for I am with child."
Then Joseph flew in anger,
in anger flew he
"Let the father of the baby
gather cherries for thee!
Let the father of the baby
gather cherries for thee!"
Then up spoke baby Jesus
from in Mary's womb,
"Bend down the tallest tree
that my mother might have some.
Oh bend down, ye tallest tree,
that my mother might have some!"
And bent down the tallest
till it touched Mary's hand
Cried she "Oh look thou, Joseph,
I have cherries by command!"
Cried she, "Oh look thou, Joseph,
I have cherries by command!"
When Joseph was an old man
An old man was he
he married Virgin Mary
The Queen of Galilee
He married Virgin Mary
the Queen of Galilee.

Rorate ceoli desuper!
Heavens distill your balmy showers
for now is risen the bright day star
from the rose, Mary, flow'r of flow'rs.
The clear sun whom no cloud devours
surpassing Phebus in the East
Is comen o'er his heavenly tow'rs
et nobis puer natus est!
Sinners be glad and penance do
and thank your maker heartfully,
for he that ye might not come to
to you is comen full humbly.
Your souls with his blood to buy
and loose you of the fiend's arrest!
And only of his own mercy,
Pro nobis puer natus est.
Celestial fowles in the air
sing with your notes upon height
in firthes and in forests fair
be mirthful now with all your might.
For passed is your dully night,
arora hath the cloudes pierced!
The sun is risen with gladsome light,
et nobis puer natus est.
Sing heaven imperial most of height,
regions of air make harmony.
All fish in flood and fowl on high
be mirthful and make melody.
All gloria in excelsis cry
heaven, earth, sea, man, bird, and beast-
he that is crowned above the heights,
pro nobis puer natus est.
