As Joseph Was a Walking
Author: Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #253 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: As Joseph was a walking, Lyrics: 1. As Joseph was a walking,
he heard an angel sing;
His song was of the coming
of Christ, our Savior King.
The good man, long dejected,
had knelt to Him who hears;
The blest refrain now swelling
removes his doubts and fears.
2. “Be not afraid when hearing
the choirs seraphic sing;
This night shall be the birthtide
of Christ the heavenly King;
He neither shall in housen
be born, nor yet in hall;
Nor bed, nor downy pillow,
but in an oxen stall.
3. He neither shall be clothèd
in purple nor in pall,
But in the fair white linen
that usen babies all.
He neither shall be rockèd
in silver nor in gold;
But in a wooden manger,
that resteth on the mold.
4. As Joseph was a walking,
thus did an angel sing;
At night the mother maiden
gave birth to Christ our king.
The blessèd virgin wrapped Him
from nightly winds, so wild;
The lowly manger held Him,
her wondrous holy Child.
5. And marshaled on the mountain,
the angels raise their song;
The shepherds hear the story
in anthems clear and strong.
The herald hymn obeying,
nor loth, nor yet afraid,
They seek the lowly dwelling,
and there the Child is laid!
6. Then be ye glad, good people,
this night of all the year;
And light ye up your candles—
His star it shineth near;
And all in earth and Heaven,
our Christmas carol sing:
Good will, and peace, and glory!
And all the bells shall ring. Languages: English Tune Title: GAUNTLETT

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "As Joseph was a-walking" in Wartburg Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 Author of "As Joseph Was a Walking" in The Cyber Hymnal Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).

1834 - 1907 Adapter of "As Joseph Was a Walking" in The Message in Song Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS. DOC, was born April 26, 1834. He is the author of several works on the theory of music; and the editor of some musical editions of hymnbooks. To the latter he contributed numerous tunes, some of which have attained to great popularity, and 5 of which are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, London, 1881.
His publications include Songs of Love for the Bible School; and Book of Anthems, the combined sale of which has exceeded one million copies. As a hymnwriter he is known by his "Yield not to temptation," which was written in 1868, and published in the National Sunday School Teachers' Magazine, from which it passed, with music by the author, into his Songs of Love, &c, 1874, and other collections. In America its use is extensive. Dr. Palmer's degree was conferred by the University of Chicago in 1880.
